After NYU student Alana Taylor wrote a critical piece about the merits of her journalism class for PBS's MediaShift blog, her professor, Mary Quigley, caught wind of it and told the class, "We can all agree that there will be no more blogging or Twittering about the class." Can we all agree on that? Especially since this very same professor had previously told them, “Nowadays it’s essential for journalists to blog."

Professor Quigley later explained, “Yes, I would certainly require a student to ask permission to use direct quotes from the class on a blog written after class.”

How very 1.0. But now you're on Gawker... d'oh!
