My purpose is to help you grasp the fundamentals quickly and efficiently. We will create an atmosphere in which teamwork and shared responsibility prevail, but in which independent work also occurs. Early on, I will expect the most technically advanced students to help the less advanced. I expect your personal demeanor to reflect the seriousness of our task. Begin to think of yourself as a young professional.
Personal demeanor affects attitude, and attitude affects performance.
We will schedule a time for each of you to visit local publishing houses to observe. The exact schedule will be announced in class. Because we have added new material to concentrate more on Community Journalism, I will simply outline the topics here. Read the textbook in its entirety. Also the stylebook.
