Students are introduced to the exciting world of the print media. Journalism students will learn the basic skills of relaying information accurately and self-expression through print communication. Through this course, students will learn and practice journalistic skills used in reporting, writing, designing, and producing a publication. In addition, students will work on the student newspaper further developing their journalism skills; basic business management principles; and interpersonal relationships by working in collaborative groups. Students will have use of state-of-the-art computer-aided publishing tools and other hands-on production tools such as InDesign, Photoshop, and digital cameras. This course will serve as a learning workshop for students interested in working on the student newspaper and may provide students insight into college and career choices. Some out-of-class time may be required.
