News Editor Assignments

I wanted to reiterate the news editor assignment and send you the schedule for the coming semester.

Remember each Thursday by 6:00 p.m. You need to post your top local, national and international story in the comments area to a post I will put up there. Each story needs to be accompanied by a headline you write for your weekly newspaper from Missoula.

Additionally, you need to propose a sidebar or localization feature about one of your top stories. This is a hypothetical story you would look to do to go with your other stories. Don’t just make it up, but you can propose to look for a certain type of person without actually having to do all of the leg work.

First stories are due next Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011. Each week the news editors need to discuss before class on Friday what the class proposed and what you would select as the best headlines and stories as well as the top sidebar feature.
