Journalism Class

I’m so glad you’re here! This is a great class. So what have you signed up for? Journalism is not just the barrage of heavy stories you hear on the news. Yes, that’s part of it, but it’s storytelling. As journalists, we document events, we inform and we tell the stories of all sorts of people with words and pictures. This is a comprehensive course where we will study the basic principles of scholastic journalism. In addition, you will have the opportunity to have your work published on the VRHS news website, The Word www.vrhsword.com and in the yearbook, The Lonestar!

A few topics include:

• interviewing skills
