National Scholastic Press Association Spring Convention

Seniors who are interested in going, let me know. LAUSD will provide a bus, but you will have to come up with the $89 registration and the $200 for the hotel room (three nights, shared with 3-4 people). UPDATE: There a a few scholarships for the $89 registration fee. Let me know before they go to students from other schools.

Issue #3

This issue seemed more difficult than usual to produce. We need to have better communication between editors and reporters. Please don't swap stories without talking to your editor about it first. Make sure you take a photo of every news and sports story you cover. Nearly every story needs some sort of artwork. If it is something that is happening on campus, take a photo!

Please leave your comments on the issue here.

Only Jeneffer, William and Holly have met their deadline for first drafts. The rest of you can expect your grade to drop the longer it takes you to turn in your (overdue) work.

First Drafts Due on Friday

William, Vanessa, Jackie, Daisy, Jeneffer and I will be at USC High School Journalism Day on Friday. We will return at the end of the period. As news editor, John will be in charge in our absence.

November Issue

Congratulations on our first 12-page issue. Thanks to everyone involved, especially those who stayed after school and who came in on Saturday to see that we met our deadline. Please post your thoughts about the issue here. Rather than a general comment, like "Nice job," I'd like you to make a specific comment either about your own story or someone else's story. What did you like about it? What would you have done differently if you had it to do over?

Also, please print the file titled Story Proposal in the box above. We will use this to finalize stories after we brainstorm story ideas on Tuesday.
