Want to Join Student Media?

Per the LISD Course Catalog, students interested in yearbook, newspaper and photojournalism courses need to fill out a student interest survey. Please see Ms. Stamp in room 1609 or email her for more information. 

Journalism (no pre-requisites): Students learn foundations of journalism, including ethics, law, and writing articles, graphic design, photography, and broadcast.

Photojournalism (interest survey required): Students learn the foundations of photojournalism,  including parts of a DSLR, basics of taking photos, composition, editing, and storytelling through images and caption writing. Students must attend school events and purchase their own SD memory card.

Yearbook (pre-requisite: Journalism or Photojournalism, interest survey required): Students join the yearbook staff in order to experience a publication office experience where the students create the content and determine all aspects of the annual. The teacher acts as an advisor with the class more like an internship or job. An interview with student editors may be required in addition to the survey.

News Media (pre-requisite: Journalism, interest survey required): Students join the news media staff in order to experience a publication office experience where the students create the content and determine all aspects of the web site and social media for Vandegrift Voice.
