Journalism Students - Attention.

You have till midnight next Wednesday to get these submitted - just add them to the comments here. If you want to be certain of the requirements for each course, they can be found here. This entry is listed on my info page, so you can find it again whenever you need to.

Journalism 101
100 words on your perceived outcome of the current student elections. Be as fanciful as you please.

150 words on any of the current candidates for school office. Slant it however you please.

Journalism 301
200 words on one of the current candidates for school office - WITHOUT taking a personal stand pro or con.

Advanced Journalism
100 riveting, truthful words on a topic you'd like to see addressed in the student elections.

Combat Journalism
100-150 words in a slanted article on political mud-slinging/ballot-box stuffing/other electoral shenanigans. Pro or Con is your choice – the object is to stir up a heated reaction.

Photojournalism

One clear picture of each of the candidates for student office. All should be 200x200 pixels and clearly labeled.

Please be sure to put which course your response is for in the subject line of your comment for easier grading. This post and all other homework posts will be added to the memories section of my journal so that you can find it again to post when your homework is complete. On Thursday morning of next week I’ll post a reminder and a link back to this entry.

This week's homework will be publicly posted as things to think about as Student Elections roll around. Feel free to accept bribes from any candidates and report them with your homework for extra credit. Any actual interviews also receive extra credit but do not count toward your homework assignment.

P.S. Georgia, illness or no, you still owe me 100 words as to why I'm a fucking bastard.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

As a participant in this election, I personally would enjoy seeing more of my fellow candidates addressing the issue of student involvement in their government.

I continuously hear about how the majority of the student body perceives student politics as corrupt - nothing more than a popularity contest, and something for those who are elected to put on their college applications. While that is absolutely true in some cases, student government does have a much more significicant impact on the lives of every student in this school.

I would like to see more candidates confront the idea that they should take input from people who are not neccessarily involved in the government.

P.S. Would you be interested in giving an endorsement for my campaign, sir? Please?

Fail. 12 words above limit, please revise and resubmit.
