Otherwise, you will lose important hours rekeying stories during timed exercises and labs. You have an assigned slot in Phelps 108. Please check daily for corrected papers, notes from me, the news bureau supervisor, and the editors and producers at media outlets that are considering your work for publication and airing. A 500-word original story is due every class beginning the second week. The course cannot be completed with fewer than 15 stories, which means you will need to double up some weeks.
Every story needs a distinctive slug and the date it was written.
Do your work as if for publication and airing through campus and other media. Field exercises usually are made available to the CyberIndee and KQAL with credit to you as the reporter. This gives you editor, audience and source feedback that can be important in your learning. If you would rather not have your work on the site, let me know right away. In extraordinary circumstances, such as hospitalization or a family death, you may request a deadline extension.
