- Shooting photos in the wild
Of course wildlife photography involves mastery of camera basics and lighting. However, it also requires patience and commitment as well as knowledge of the wildlife. | By Rob Sheppard with contributions from National Wildlife photo contest

Whereas copyright laws mean "all rights reserved," Creative Commons is encouraging artists and authors to allow use of their work for defined circumstances and with pre-approved permission. The phrase translates to "some rights reserved." | By Esther

Like an index or old-style card catalog, electronic metadata helps users find publications, images or articles. But an index or catalog is only as good as the data that are put into it. | By Bradley Wilson

In this award-winning, peer-reviewed academic paper, two Arkansas researchers discovered that adviser training and experience seem to be more important determinants of newspaper content than a student press law. | By Jennifer R. Garner and Bruce L. Plopper

Fall 2008, Vol. 42, #1
Cover photos by Anthony Miller, Daniel Plassmann and Stephen Solorzano
Going online
David Schwartz explores how a publication embraces or rejects online journalism potentially establishes a student’s future, a publication’s credibility and a teacher’s reputation. The concern is not how school publications can afford to go online — the point, say media insiders, is that high-school journalism advisers can no longer sidestep the need.
Covering politics
Probably the top story of the fall will be the national election. Students and professionals have already been involved in coverage of the candidates as well as localizing the campaign and the issues. Contributors include Rob Christensen, W. Gardner Selby, Corey Lowenstein, Anthony Miller, Jordan Nicholas, Leslie Nicholas, Daniel Plassmann, Stephen Solorzano, Pete Souza and Molly Stieber
Targeting administrators
There’s a new push to aim First Amendment educational efforts at high-school principals and administrators. If school leaders are not convinced about the value of incorporating the First Amendment into their school cultures, journalism teachers will find themselves locked in battle with their bosses. Written by Cynthia Mitchell.
High Dynamic Range
HDR photography helps photographers expand the brilliance of colors apparent in a scene beyond what can be captured by the camera with one exposure. Contributors include Paul Davidson, Arthur Ng and Kevin Scherer
Media moving online
Indiana adviser Jim Streisel says mass media are closer than many people think to making the switch online — completely. He targets the educational implications of today’s online world.

Commentary Michele Weldon says to embrace the changes in journalism rather than to be afraid of them. “The influx of what I call ‘everyman sourcing’ has changed journalism, but it has not altered the need for reliable, critically examined information from trusted sources.”

Your tweets In Twitter fashion, journalism advisers give their resolutions for scholastic journalism. Members await additional inspiration.
