Students develop skills in editing news stories and press releases for accuracy, proper grammar, style, punctuation, and logical construction. They begin learning how to write headlines, briefs and captions for photographs and graphics. Students are introduced to traditional and modern page layout techniques, including the raw basics of PageMaker and Adobe Photoshop. The class is also engaged in a dialogue on legal and ethical considerations facing editors today. This is the first on-line magazine produced by a class here in the Journalism Department .
Students are responsible for the idea, the name, the theme, stories and pictures.
They will also go through an extensive editing process to see how editors at newspapers and magazines really work. Also finish laying your stories out in Pagemaker. Our final exam period is Monday, Dec. 15, 8-10 a.m. I'm taking roll today. Wednesday, Nov. 26, will be the Third Writer's Bloc Deadline.
