Newspaper

We are going to be creating a bi-monthly or weekly (time permitting) school newspaper.


 * Objectives ~**
 * understand the managerial roles, responsibilities, procedures, and methods necessary for the efficient management of common information processing activities.
 * develop communications skills needed for information processing
 * examine the efficiency of information processes, considering efficiency and productivity
 * understand the uses of several information distribution systems.

We will be creating our own individual columns, articles, and features in order to produce 1 newspaper. For each paper there will be three editors. The editors jobs are as follows: -Format the paper -Approve columns. article, features, etc. -Offer suggestions to writers -Facilitate deadlines -Conduct meetings -Evaluate writers work and work ethic

It will be up to you as a class to come up with a name and what will be included in our newspaper. You may want sports, music, local, horoscope, pictures, interviews, entertainment, t.v., internet, events, comics, etc. The possibilities are limitless.

Each student is expected to contribute one feature per paper. The editors will also be expected to contribute to each paper. In order to pass a message to a writer or editor you must use your school e-mail. When submitting an article for a deadline you must use your e-mail. The editors will be expected to do more work per paper and each student will have the opportunity to be an editor.

Today we will discuss the expectations of your articles, roles, and final outcomes.
