These courses provide the training necessary to produce a newspaper. First-year students are trained in the skills necessary to obtain an editorial position on the newspaper staff the following year. They also receive instruction in such areas as news, feature, sports and editorial writing; layouts; proofreading; copyreading; and sales. Second-year students learn advanced writing and newspaper production skills and occupy editorial positions on the school newspaper staff. Work includes writing copy, designing and pasting-up pages, providing photographic coverage of school events, selling advertising space and distributing the paper.
