2012 Patterson School Spring Crisis Simulation

[ 8 ] February 25, 2012 | Robert Farley

The Patterson School Spring Crisis Simulation has drawn to a close.  The UK School of Journalism set up two sites to support the sim; check them out. This year’s sim involved Mexican cartels, the Bellagio Casino, and the unfortunate passing of Mr. Brad Pitt.

More of a wrap up later this week.

    This year’s sim involved writing the script for Ocean’s 14?

    I bet in his darker moments Brad Pitt knew the University of Kentucky Patterson School would be the one to finally murder him.

    1 – If there be justice on earth, whomever picked the ‘light-gray-type-on-black-background’ for the ‘Mexican National News’ should find him/her self, 30 years from now, wearing thick trifocals.

    2 – Running the report in ‘blog form’ makes it difficult for non-attendees who have to backtrack to the beginning to find out what’s going on

    3 – Also, us ‘outside observers’ would find it easier to follow if messages had a ‘fictional-world’ date and time stamp (Or was the entire ‘crisis’ assumed to fit into 24 hours of ‘real time’?)

  5. I saw nothing from my office in McVey 103. Nothing at all.
