My Students

The students in my journalism class show a great deal of initiative and truly want to find ways to aid our society. Many have faced a multitude of obstacles in their lives but remain resolute in graduating, going to college, and truly living the American dream.

My students see journalism as an avenue to a better society and expose that which harms our collective human spirit.

We are a largely immigrant school, and many of my students arrived from nations where the concept of an independent press was/is foreign.

My students are passionate at reporting the news and writing editorials that can motivate and advocate for change. They are angered by the attack on the field of journalism and the false use of the term "fake news" when it is attached to reputable news agencies.

My Project

The key to a good journalist is accurate source notes. When a journalist is accurate, it helps remove the stigma of fake journalism which is a term too often utilized. My journalism one class teaches the importance of interviews and note-taking when working on a story. However, it is essential to have an organized system when proceeding as a journalist.

Professional reporter notebooks will be easy to hold while taking notes in the field and allow quotes to be accurately obtained in an organized fashion.

When submitting stories for publication in our award-winning printed newspaper, student editors will be able to review the notes form their reporter book to help in the fact-check process.
