1 credit — Grades 10, 11, 12
(1 period per day for 1 year)
Prerequisites: staff application in previous year; writers and editors must also have completed Journalism II
This course is for the Arlingtonian newsmagazine staff, chosen from Journalism II students who will apply for specific staff positions, including editors. Small- and large-group instruction—including writing, researching, interviewing, editing, and diverse storytelling—will help students fulfill their individual staff assignments. Students are responsible for writing, editing, and publishing a newsmagazine every quarter during the school year as well as ongoing publication on the staff website arlingtonian.com. The student-staff will be exposed to business practices connected to running a newsmagazine, including advertising costs and processes. Interested students should be strong enough academically to devote the time necessary to produce the magazine.
