"Logic (101?) was one of the of the first courses I took in college; it was taught in the Philosophy Department. It formalized reasoning skills into mathematical expressions.
The course wasn't difficult, but so many in the press seem to have missed out on basic reasoning skills, maybe those skills are difficult for some -- all the more reason to teach in a formal course. Maybe it should be a required course for all Journalism majors.

Regardless, logic is timeless and should be a basic requirement of any curriculum.

I took the same course. But, I've gotten more use out of it as a technical trouble shooting technique then dissecting speeches and articles. I found I got more use out of the English Dept.'s Critical Reasoning and Writing course when pulling apart. I think I still have the textbook "A Rhetoric or Argument" on my bookshelf.
