Next week is Scholastic Journalism Week: Take the Pledge

I'd like to celebrate Scholastic Journalism Week by taking the TAO of Journalism Pledge (their slogan: "just TAO it.") and taking a photo of the class taking the pledge and putting it on the website. One of the teams can use it as one of their posts. The idea is that journalists are always demanding that sources be transparent, accountable and open. If we want our readers' trust, we need to be transparent, accountable and open as well. Read more about it on the link.

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.
