Procedures Day

I was out today for a funeral. Editors in each class went over procedures for each publication. Again, I spend a lot of time and energy the first six-weeks to enforce proper procedures.

Advanced Photojournalism

Editors demonstrated workflow. See the flow chart we use in class here.

Newspaper

Editors broke up the class into smaller groups. Groups read aloud story samples from www.therideronline.com. Then they went over a basic feature outline.

Yearbook

Editors role-played interviewing as a game then went over interview tips.

Feature Writing Outline

All workflow can be found here.
