WEEK 13

Hello everyone!

It is very important that you are all checking this blog weekly and that you understand how close we are to the end of the semester.

Students taking this class as editors are responsible to complete their editor duties this week. This means that editors come to class prepared with content for THE FOLLOWING week. The student leaves production when all content is ready to be published for the following week. Content edited, headline and sub-headline written, visual or graphic for header, cutline/credit. And last, signed off by Natalie or Ferry. The only exception to this rule is breaking news or future events.

Students taking this class as contributors need to have weekly content prepared and ready for each week. This means signed off by the section editor as ready to go.

Students taking this course as freelance photographers need to have weekly assignments completed, assigned by Abraham.

I planned to have a workshop each week from the students that went to DC but this week, a group of students left to get food and were not back until close to noon. The class/production begins at 11:30. From now on, get your lunch before that. We will begin with these workshops at 11:30 on Thursday and if you are not there, you will not receive points for the week.

This week, we will have presentations from: Emerald, Skye, Natalie, Ferry, and Lily. Please come prepared to share what you learned at the sessions you attended and to give tips to the students who did not get to come. I am inviting the 101s and 102s to come by if they are interested. Each presentation should be about 10 minutes long. That will have us done by 12:30 at which time we will go into production.

The following week is Thanksgiving week so production will take place on Tuesday. If you are not free on Tuesday, you will need make alternate arrangements with Natalie to have all of your content ready for the following week.

The week after Thanksgiving will be an extended production (for editors) so be prepared to stay long. We will be preparing content for the winter break so  you will need to gather as much content as possible so that we can publish at least once a week in your sections.

Everyone will be given a final assignment, and the there will be an Editorial Board meeting for the editors during the scheduled finals time.

See you on Thursday!
