J-students swarm campus to cover Obama

Busy day on campus with the visit and speech by Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

J-School students are on high alert and are swarming Adam’s Field on campus to cover the event for various classes and doing some live video streaming on http://www.mogulus.com/spartantv. Our Focal Point staff is in the thick of things. The State News is twittering on its website at www.statenews.com. We also have students blogging for the Lansing State Journal.

Read, see and view all the coverage. This is what makes the J-School such a great place to learn how to "commit" journalism.

Michigan is a swing state that both candidates need to grab.

It’s great to have Obama on campus, and, I hope, GOP nominee John McCain makes MSU a stop, as well.

Then there’s the vice presidential debate tonight! This is democracy as it should be happening.
