WEEK 14

Editors/Senior Staff Writers/Photographers,

This is the last two weeks of the semester, with finals approaching rapidly.

I was impressed with several of the editors last week who came prepared and ready to go on production!

Also, I LOVED the presentations by Ferry, Skye and Emerald.

This week's production will be held on Tuesday, beginning at 1 p.m.

My 114 students will be working on their final videos on Tuesday but you may begin working on production at 11:30 (if that works best for you. If any of you cannot be in the newsroom at 1 pm for production on Tuesday, please let me know ASAP so we can make other arrangements for you to prepare your sections.

Week 15's JOUR 106 class will begin with presentations by Lux, Leni, Chris and Abraham, followed by production.

We will see the final presentations by Travis, Brigette, Natalie, Josh, and Lily during the finals time for JOUR 106 .

Please keep your presentations no longer than 10-15 minutes each.

If you are not producing content for the publications, you will find yourself at a disadvantage when the semester ends and I am grading your work.

If you are an editor of a section and you are editing other people's work and you are making sure that your sections are complete and updated (this does not mean just publishing 101's stories. It means actually pitching stories to senior writers enrolled in the class and making sure they meet deadlines imposed by you), then you are doing your job.

If you are a contributor, your job is to create weekly content. If you are a freelance photographer, you are checking in with Abraham every week to make
sure you are taking photos required for completing the class.

If you are confused, SEE ME!!

Please be sure to check in on the Slack pitch channel to let Ferry and Natalie know what's being published this week, and next week.

ALSO:  If you are planning to return in the spring, please see me so we can discuss the role you'd like to take on our staff. I hope you are all figuring out what you like, and what you don't like about your positions!  I hope to see all of you return.

NEWSROOM IS CLOSED ON THURSDAY!

See you on Tuesday!
