The Evolving Newsroom

I just came across this on Britannica.com’s blog (better late than never).

Professor Michael Wesch, who brought us The Machine is Us/ing Us, won the national professor of the year award from the Carnegie Foundation.

Wired Magazine calls him “the explainer.” His classes are so popular students submit applications to enroll. Now Kansas State University’s Michael Wesch adds another honor to a long list: He is the winner of the national professor of the year award for research and doctoral universities from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

Congratulations are in order.

Here’s The Machine is Us/ing Us again (for those who haven’t seen it):
