The student will select one area of journalism for intensive, independent study. The student may choose to focus on reporting and news writing, layout and design, photography or advertising, or another field with the approval and guidance of the advisor. In addition to the independent study, the student will work in a leadership capacity (editor) with the Journalism I and II classes. The intensive independent work, combined with the editorial responsibilities of the student newspaper, is designed to prepare a student to study journalism—with an emphasis on news editorial—as an undergraduate major.
