The goal for the applied part of the class has three aims:
- Get them off campus and into the community.
- Find stories that are relevant and meaningful.
- Feel like a real journalist.
Here are links to four stories recently written for the class.
Jenni Hodges, a senior in the public relations concentration, is writing about food. Her first story is about a new bulk foods store that just opened in Cedarville. Check out the photos too.
The next three students are part of the convergent journalism concentration.
Emily Finlay chose to write about local history. Her first story gives some insight into some of the history that surrounds the historic Cedarville Opera House.
Anna Dembowski took on the difficult topic of human trafficking. Her first story describes how the efforts at a local transitional home for women has a broad effect on the community. Check out the info graphic she made with an online tool.
Kathryn Sill is on the business beat and telling readers all about Young's Jersey Dairy, an iconic local landmark. Her first story looks at what it's like for a Cedarville student to work at Young's. And she used the YouTube video editor to create a slideshow about one of the students.
