I want U 2 B outraged

"I want U 2 B outraged" is a blog created by me--Colorado State University journalism professor Lee Anne Peck. I have a Ph.D. in journalism ethics from Ohio University.



This blog was created, so I can post information about questionable media behavior or ethical dilemmas that I collect from the Web.



I will only post the most outrageous of ethical behavior--behavior that should make you outraged!

About Me

My photo
Lee Anne Peck, Ph.D.
My Ph.D. is in Journalism Ethics from Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. I teach media ethics, public relations courses, magazine writing and anything else that needs to be taught. I also have master's degrees in English, philosophy, and journalism studies. I have worked for newspapers, online products and magazines. I also do free-lance PR projects. Spring 2007 semester I took a leave of absence from the University of Northern Colorado; I taught a Contemporary Mass Media course at the University of Dubrovnik, Croatia, as a Visiting Fulbright Scholar. As a Fulbrighter, I was an "unofficial U.S. ambassador." Today, I teach at Colorado State University.
