ADVISING STUDENT MEDIA      3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

In this course, students learn that an adviser should advise, not edit or create content, and in learning this, students will discern the difference between the roles of adviser and student editor. Students will create sample forms, such as advertising contracts and beat sheets; develop a staff manual; and construct an editorial policy that values students’ right to make content decisions. They will also cover the challenges of dealing with other stakeholders, especially school administrators.
