Newsletter
The goal of the newsletter class is to teach journalism skills and provide students with a voice to reach and influence their community. While traditional journalism tactics will be taught, they are merely a foundation upon which the students can decide how they want to express both their individuality and their ideas of the world. It is important to realize there is no set mould for this class; rather, students will determine the content, structure, and layout of the publication. Students will be encouraged to take an interactive role not only in individual projects, but also in a group staff to create a product that everyone is proud of.
