WEEK 2




Last week we had introductions and we discussed the look of our magazine and logo, and publishing on Medium.  You were given a history of our award-winning magazine, Substance. You were introduced to Lux Montes, the Editor in Chief of Substance.

You also pitched story ideas.

This week will consist of organization and the planning of the digital magazine and the sections we will have for this semester.

This week we will begin by setting all of you up on the social media platforms, Medium, and getting your photos taken for press passes.

We will always have a workshop at the beginning of each class so please be sure to be on time!

This week we will talk about the benefits of blogging/journaling, and you will create an unfiltered blog post.

IMPORTANT:  Remember that I, along with the students staff and editors, will be in NYC attending the CMA conference next week so the newsroom will be closed on Wednesday, March 11. NO CLASSES THAT DAY

See you on Wednesday!

Hello everyone. As you are all aware, we returned from the New York College Media Association early due to the coronavirus and the city of NY shutting down. Students returned early and I arrived to a notification that our courses would be going online and that classes were cancelled on Wednesday and Thursday of that week. My intent was to have us online by Monday, March 23, and then a new notification alerted us that classes would be cancelled until March 30. With that said, we will begin our online classes on March 30. We are not allowed to assign any work until that time. Please make sure you are on Slack and that you are keeping up with notifications. We will be a couple of weeks behind, but I promise to make this transition as simple as possible. Be sure that you are also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so that we have all lines of communication open. I am available by text, email, and Slack. You will receive instructions to how this course will work by next week. Pl
