Bring copies to class in a folder to save your printed work. If you have a PC at home, no worries. The Macs will read it. Since media professionals are expected to keep up with major news developments, you need to get in the habit now of reading one of the national newspapers such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal or USA Today, as well important local papers as the Times-Picayune. While it is highly recommended that you read The Maroon for campus news, you should get into the habit of reading a national newspaper regularly to keep up with national and world events, if you expect to excel as a media professional in print or broadcast journalism, public relations, or advertising.
Writing constitutes the heart of the course.
You are to write two brief papers each week. Practice makes perfect, just ask Tiger Woods. One will be due on Tuesday, the other on Thursday. Each homework writing assignment must be handed in by the beginning of class. In lab writing on deadline must be printed and turned in by the final class time.
