  1. Good blog, overall, but you had too few entries (only 6). The assignment called for at least 15 entries. I enjoyed your entries on conglomeration, and also the history of printed media in the Philippines. Actually, all of the six entries you have are good. I just wish you had many more than that. The assignment also called for a last entry that summarized what you had learned throughout the semester about the media in the Philippines...

    Grade: 100 (out of 200).
