Additional skills stressed include headline writing, proofreading, page design, advertisement design and copy writing, and recognition of good photojournalism. While reviewing and reinforcing the topics learned in Journalism 11-12, the advanced student is responsible for writing, editing, producing, and distributing six issues of the Eagle Edition , the school newspaper. As staff members and page editors, they have the responsibility not only of writing, but also of planning the paper and editing stories. Freedom and responsibility of the press is stressed as are biographies of past and present journalists.
All writing requires the process approach.
The fourth-year student will have a major editorial leadership role on the staff, so leadership skills and editing skills will be emphasized in addition to the continued polishing of writing and design skills. Updating the Eagle Edition Style Book is one responsibility. By meeting with all staff members and Press Club members for a short time after school on Thursdays, the journalism student will be able to utilize the talents of the Press Club.
