Seton Hill University’s New Media Journalism Program Named One of Pittsburgh Magazine’s “12 Smart Majors That Will Land You a Job After Graduation”

Journalism — New Media » It’s the inevitable stain on every single college commencement, an abominable cliché that speakers use as an ice-breaker: At some point during the address to graduates, the keynote talking-head will deadpan, “And now you will all go on to rewarding careers—except for the English majors.” Hardy-har. But just because the…

Science Fiction Used in IPad Lawsuit

Samsung notes that “the tablet disclosed in the clip has an overall rectangular shape with a dominant display screen, narrow borders, a predominately flat front surface, a flat back surface (which is evident because the tablets are lying flat on the table’s surface), and a thin form factor.” You don’t actually see the actor interacting…

For instance, those who wear tinfoil hats while blogging from their parents’ basements are likely to wave…
