For Wednesday and week 6 blogging

Continue reading chapter 5, and be ready to discuss the Department of Homeland Security web site, particularly this page and its link to the "National Strategy for the Physical Protection of Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets":

http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/interapp/
publication/publication_0017.xml

Don't worry about reading all of this document, but please focus on pages 37-38 (on the .pdf file), or pages 25-26 as numbered in the document itself. The first page of this section is titled: Information Sharing and Indications and Warnings. It's the perfect match for our classroom discussion earlier today.

Please blog about the department's warning system, and be sure to read the case study in Chapter 5 about this warning system.

Also, be ready to discuss the formatting of news releases, as discussed in Chapter 10 in both of our textbooks, both the Guth & Marsh text, and the PR Stylebook.
