Journalism class is design to introduce students to a running a professional publication. The staff will produce a product geared towards a specific audience. This product will be designed under a strict budget and in doing so; students will be required to work cooperatively in order to meet deadlines. Each yearbook staff member plays an important role in the overall outcome of the book. Every student should have a strong desire to produce a high quality book and equal effort should be shared between all staff members. Leadership roles are designed as incentives for seniority and for those who have shown a willingness and desire to go above and beyond what is required. Students will ultimately be responsible for the success of the yearbook and the way in which Laney High School is represented. It should be the goal of each student to produce a yearbook that involves all aspects of the school and student life.
