WEEK 6

Hello editors and freelancers!

PHOTOGRAPHERS:  Be sure to check in with Abraham for your assignments. I will be giving a short photo ethics workshop on Thursday.

EDITORS: We are all still getting organized and finding the best ways to pitch stories for your sections. Please keep in mind that as an editor or beat writer/contributor, your job is to keep a note pad and jot down ideas for your section that think of the student audience first, and then the local community audience. You are also expected to promote your stories once published, and keep track of how those stories are doing each day. Brigette will create a handout for you to use that outlines the steps to promoting stories.

Editors are required to attend Editorial Board Meetings and Production Thursdays. Editors may not leave until they check in with the EIC or with me. These activities are your weekly points.

NOTICE:  The newsroom will be closed on Wednesday, Oct. 30 and Thursday, Oct. 31 (*A group of editors will be attending a conference in Washington DC from Oct. 30-Nov. 3) and classes are cancelled so we will have production on Tuesday, Oct. 29 beginning at 2:30 p.m. Please come prepared to have your section ready for the current week and the week that follows. *If you are unable to attend production on Thursday, you must meet with Natalie to work on an alternate day to prepare your section.  

See you on Thursday.
