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.

Journalism 201
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.

Like most elections around the world, this one will not reflect the feeling of the overall student body but merely reflect which student is the most popular with the biggest bankroll behind their campaign. While the student elections are a chance to bring the student body closer together and encourage intermingling among the various species here at Fandom High, the results will do nothing but solitify the underlying tensions of good and evil here at Fandom High. I for one, am look forward to it. This reporter hopes to see a lot of mudslinging, trash campaigning all over the halls.

Maia sighs and takes it back. She studies the paper for a moment then inserts one more word. "There you go, 100 words. Anything else?"

((OOC: I literally laughed out loud on that one.))

"Pass," he says, marking it down. "That's all."
