JRN 400: Leadership and Editing

This semester, I will select one or more students to serve as managing editors for this class. Student editors will be required to approve story ideas from reporters; work with them in molding their stories; and make sure they are meeting deadlines. They will also have to copy edit stories as needed.

I will also select one or more students to serve as copy editors for this class. Student managing copy editors will assist the managing editor in copy-editing stories.

The people selected for these roles will be rewarded in points, meaning they will have to produce fewer stories themselves. Managing editors will be awarded up to 120 points for their work. Copy editors are eligible for up to 80 points.

If you are interested in being either a managing editor or a copy editor, please send me an email of any length telling me why you're qualified to have such a position, what you would get out of it and what you would contribute as a result. 

Deadline to apply for one of those leadership and editing positions will be no later than 9 a.m. Thursday, May 17 via email to omars@msu,edu.

If you have any questions, please contact me ASAP.
