You'll be older too


For those of you who still drop by this blog every once in a while (if only to ignore Laura's wake up call below :-) and who are able to read Norwegian, I would like to recommend to you: Steen's Beboerne. It is a booklength piece of feature journalism about life and death in a Norwegian rest home and about care of senior citizens in general. It makes for a fantastic break from fast news journalism, and it'll make you think about your grandparents and about your parents and your downstairs neighbours and about your own old age.

Well done, Steen.

The first chapter is available here.

hey laura,
i just found your blog through a link at a site naming chris atton. i am a student researcher studying community media and somali refugees in columbus, ohio. i have been building contacts for the past 10 weeks- conducting interviews and doing what rsearch i can online and through literature. but. quite frankly, i am not confident in my methodology. i am amidst writing my summer research paper, but i want to continue this topic as my senior thesis. do you have any suggestions? i realize and understand the importance of community/alternative media. and this is something that is very important to me. but how do i reflect this in research?
my email is hill_mt@denison.edu. i would appreciate any and all advice.
thanks so much,
maria
