Writing process nurtures teamwork

Summer 2008, Vol. 41, #4
Cover photo by Laura Carroll, Marcus High School (Flower Mound, Texas; Lori Herbst, adviser).

Writing process by Janet Ewell with artwork by Mark McLawhorn. A structured plan nurtures teamwork to turn story ideas into fluent text. Thoughtful suggestions help staffs and advisers develop ways to upgrade stories, whether when brainstorming, rewriting or evaluating.

Science reporting by Tyler Dukes and Kathleen Neumeyer. Health and science reporting provides timely opportunities to research critical subjects. Insights from a medical specialist broaden the perspective.

Stylebook updates. The Associated Press Stylebook, like the dictionary, is constantly evolving. The source is a necessity in an up-to-date journalism lab.

Verb voice. In the last of a four-part series, teachers review the voice of a verb with an emphasis on avoiding passive voice. The essential skill guarantees more forceful writing by journalists.

Web finds by Lori Oglesbee, Chad Rummel and Mark Murray. From the ridiculous to the informative, the Web is a boundless source of information. The Web continues to build on a short but productive history.

From the editor by Bradley Wilson. The editor recognizes that 10 years of deadlines have led to a resourceful magazine that enlightens JEA members.

 

Advertisers in this edition include the Alabama Scholastic Press Association, Association of Texas Photography Instructors, Ball State University JIdeas, Dow Jones Newspaper Fund, Fresh Ink Yearbooks, Friesens, Goodheart-Wilcox, Jostens Adviser University, JS Printing, Kansas Journalism Institute, Kent State University, Missouri Interscholastic Press Association, Multi-Media Technology Group, New York Film Academy, Poynter Institute for Media Studies, South-Western/Cengage Learning, Taylor Publishing, and the University of Iowa.
