Journalism

Welcome to Journalism.

This course is for those students who are interested in the production of various journalistic products in both print and electronic media, and who have a desire to explore journalism as a career.  Students will become familiar with the jargon of journalism, and will learn how to write a variety of pieces for production, including news articles, sports stories, features, op-ed columns, in-depth analyses, reviews, and more. Reading and analyzing the works of other journalists will be a part of the learning process, as they will serve as models to emulate.  Students will also be responsible for the production of the school newspaper and other possible publications.  Skills such as time management and teamwork are vital, as is the ability to devote time outside of the class, which is required for the course.  Extra time requirements may include, but are not limited to, coverage of news assignments, layout and design, and ad collection.
