Course Description
Students in this course are reporters for The Lancer Spirit, the school newspaper, and will be required to meet all deadlines of the print schedule. This course is an in-depth study of the mechanics, functions and purpose of newspapers. Critical and analytical thinking will be refined and advanced though the practice of researching, interviewing and reporting. Students will learn how to write a variety of articles including news, features, sports, reviews and editorials by incorporating the quotations, facts and information they’ve acquired throughout the news-writing process. Students will be required to discuss and answer ethical questions essential to appreciating the significance of journalism in society as well as the importance of First Amendment rights. In this course, students will be expected to write and revise articles for submission and be prepared to finance print production through the sale of advertising. This course can be taken simultaneously with other English classes, but not in lieu of any required Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior English classes. NCAA Approved.
