Blogging comes to Simpson

By Liz Tjaden

Students who have never taken a communication class at Simpson probably aren’t familiar with blogging and the benefits that it provides.

As the Simpsonian reported today, Simpson women’s basketball team player, Emily Smith, was thrown into this unknown cyber world last month by the NCAA.

The NCAA randomly chose schools and players to blog about what it is like to be a collegiate athlete within their division.

It is hard to understand the massive effects that blogging can produce. I think this is a great public relation’s idea by the NCAA to promote college athletics as well as shinning a light on women’s teams.
The blog will give fans an inside look at the experiences of a collegiate team by the athletes themselves, as well as promoting positive role models for young girls.
