Description Newsdays will emulate the work of a daily newsroom. The class will be divided into two groups and, on alternate weeks, each group will participate in an all-day Newsday. On those days, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., each student will work to produce stories under tight deadline pressures, under the direction of a three-person team of student news executives, guided by faculty and working journalists who will operate as Newsday editors-in-chief. The standard of journalism produced by students in their Newsdays will reflect, to a large extent, the amount of effort students put into their stories. Newsdays will, therefore, demand intense effort by individual students. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
