Best Beat Reporting Award...

goes to Afsana and Monica, both of whom have had a story in the last issue and the upcoming issue on their respective beats. Afsana has a story on MET's interdisciplinary projects that combine English, history and technology. Monica has a story on JROTC taking part in a Veteran's Day ceremony. These stories exemplify good beat reporting. Once you get to know your sources, it gets easier to find stories on your beat.

About This Class

This course is designed for those students who desire experience in print journalism and an in-depth production of a newspaper. Students have the unique opportunity to create and publish a student-driven newspaper. Newspaper students practice the fundamentals of journalistic writing, photojournalism, graphic design and budget management. Students will also develop their abilities to work as a team as they produce the newspaper.
Researchers have found that both college and non-college-bound students benefit from taking journalism in high school. A study of college freshmen found that journalism experience correlated with higher efficacy in a beginning English class (Collins and Bissell, 2002). Even teachers report less burnout and higher job satisfaction from advising the school newspaper or broadcast class, according to a study by Reinardy, Maksl and Filak (2009). Numerous studies by Dvorak and his associates have shown a correlation between journalism students and higher test scores on college readiness tests and in higher grades in high school classes.
