Newspaper/Journalism

The Soaring Eagle

Advisor: Dawn Lynch

Meeting Dates: Thursdays, Room 307

This club is based on the Journalism I course and is designed for students who wish to work on the staff of the school newspaper, The Soaring Eagle. Students are encouraged to choose article assignments or to create new columns based on their own interests as well as the interests of their peers. Examples of columns might include current events, entertainment, opinions, world news, community, school, and local events, sports, fashion, and more. Members of the club may either work independently or collaboratively as they move through the journalistic process of investigating, researching, interviewing, and writing articles for publication. Additionally, students will learn the basics of lying out and publishing a newspaper using Adobe InDesign. Though the club is open to and welcomes all members, it is recommended for students who enjoy writing and have an interest in pursuing journalism in the future.
