Journalism

Hello class!

Welcome to your Wiki page! This year in journalism we are going to create awiki to keep up with current events in our school. This means that each of youis going to be assigned a journalism subject that you will write on all throughthe school year.

In journalism, one of the most important concepts is a deadline. Allnewspapers, magazines, news rooms, and internet sources rely on //new// information.Our readers don't want yesterday's news, rather, they want information that is"hot off the press" (like that cliché?). Your deadline is everyFriday.

For your first assignment, post in the comments which news column you wouldlike to write (each column is a tab).

Then (this is the fun part), write a news story in the subject you want. Thebest stories get that subject; there will be more than one writer per subject.

This year is going to be about teamwork and the news. I'm excited about it andwe will not only have fun, but we'll give the school something to talk about!

PS: I suggest you write using Microsoft Word first and copy/paste into the Wiki. =)
