USC High School Journalism Day
Reporters Daniel Boror, Tania Dominguez, Jennifer Guido, Nanette Liberatori and Copy Editor William San Nicolas will be joining me on Friday, March 2. I'm sure they will come back with lots of new ideas to share with the staff.
Today I learned that the way people are getting their news nowadays is changing. Electronics and social networking are examples of the news getting around in different ways.
I learned that private schools are unprotected in terms of their first amendment rights for their journalism students, I also learned that there are lines that sometimes should not be crossed in a paper and I even picked up some indesign.
For the Journalism day at USC, it was an interesting experience. I noticed the other schools that were there seemed more into what was going on. Something I found out that was intersting was that our freedom of speech and rights doesn't stop at the front stairs of the school. Also when you have an idea that seems like a stretch for a story, you can still bring it up as an idea to your advisor and editors.- Nanette:)
USC journalism day was a great experience for me. i understood more what journalism was really about even though i have been there for a year. i learned that we do have rights and we have the chance to defend the students that dont really have a voice in the school. nobody is allowed to tell us what to write and what to not right.there are boundaries we should not tresspass but that would be something really serious. we are writers and we are given the chance to express issues that have to do with the students and are school. we have done great newspaperas and im sure we continue doing great newspapers-jennifer:)
For journalism day I learned that we shouldn't always stick to asking safe questions. We should sometimes challenge the person we're interviewing and we'll get more insightful answers.

ReplyDeleteDuh! Tell us something we don't know.

What lines? Why shouldn't they be crossed?
