Tips for newbie journalists
In a few weeks, Melissa Hayes and I will be heading back to our old college paper to run 3 workshops for newbie/wannabe journalists. We've got some ideas about what to discuss — mostly very typical introductory stuff. Could use some more.
What advice/tips/tricks do you wish someone had given you, lo those many years ago when you were just a newbie newsie? You know, aside from, "Get out now! Run! Run!"
There will be 3 workshops: news reporting, news writing, news editing. Anything that falls into one of those categories, even broadly, is helpful.

Whaaaaa? You've got to come up and say hi. It can be like on Mr. Rogers, when surprise guest friends unexpectedly drop by.

Bumper! The office isn't in the student center anymore, it's on Mine Street, but you should totally wander over and offer your expertise!

If by "expertise" you mean "high jinks", then okay. When?

Good question! I think we're starting at the un-Godly hour of 10 a.m. but will probably be there until 12ish. Unless Jess tells us differently, I think that's the game plan.
