Students gain practical experience in print media by applying and refining the principles learned in Journalism I to produce the school newspaper. To learn phases of production, students write and edit journalistic format; design and lay out advertising; handle business affairs; edit and lay out copy; and take, develop, and print photographs. The students must be committed to deadlines and be willing to take initiative and responsibility. Instructional advice is available at all times to support the journalists, but each bears the personal responsibility for the understanding of and being faithful to the laws and technical issues that affect journalists.
