SHAH ALAM, May 12 (Bernama) -- Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) is willing to offer a course in blog writing in an effort to produce more professional and ethical blog writers, its Vice Chancellor Datuk Seri Profesor Ibrahim Abu Shah said.
He said the move would also be in keeping with current developments, where a majority of the society were being drawn to the alternative media.
"Currently, we do have blogging studies in our curriculum and this will be enhanced further by introducing a course on blog writing.
"I feel that the Communication and Media Studies Faculty is ready to conduct the course and I fully support this move (to introduce blog writing course) as it is time for us to help produce bloggers who are not only professionals, but with ethics," he told a media conference after opening a seminar on Media and the 2008 General Election, here Monday.
