Belated Good Job on April Issue

I was very pleased with the April issue. There is still room for improvement, but our paper is solid. Let's make the May issue even better. We will be entering several issues in National Scholastic Press Association contest. There are also categories for Story of the Year (news, sports, editorial, feature, diversity/multiculturalism), Picture of the Year, Design of the Year, and Cartooning awards. Entry deadline is June 15.

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.
