Journalism Promotes Reporting, Writing Skills Journalism l students acquired skills in the techniques of interviewing, writing, reporting, and the studying of all mass media. Students were to master these areas in such a way that the reader would readily grasp and not misinterpret the story of an event. lVliss Sophia Purcell, instructor, stressed detailed descriptions of and job importance in news work. Students analyzed news media to see how much time was devoted to the various aspects of news. l Kim Graham is looking over the page layouts of the morning newspaper. Miss Purcell is helping Bob Gliatta find news paper articles. A class trip was taken to the Lorain Journal to view the actual operation of a newspaper. The stu- dents also made up their own newspapers to learn how to create balanced layouts. Upon com- pleting these layouts they wrote stories to fill them. A press conference with lVlr. Boyden and lVlr. Shifer was held to give students a better understand- ing in the actual interviewing of a news source. l Dave Gormley and Paul Slone are compiling sports statistics to write a story for the paper.
