It's reflection time. Please write at least two paragraphs on the following prompts on your blog:
13. What is the most important thing you have learned this semester being on newspaper staff?
I have learned how to communicate with others. I think the only way to make a good story is with good interviews, and to get those, one has to be a good communicator. Every time I go and interview I feel more comfortable and relaxed. My communicating has become better which has made my interviews stronger. This skill is also going to help me with whatever I do in life.
14. What can you do next semester to continue your scholastic journalism career in a fulfilling and positive way?
I think I can work harder to find out what things are going on in the school and what people are interesting and worth writing about. There are lots of clubs and people that deserve a voice and I want to be able to give those people the chance to be in the paper. I hope I can write stories that will impact the school and I can leave my mark.
15. What suggestions do you have to improve any part of this class? For example, you could address editor/staff relations, editor/editor relations, staff relations with the advisor, how we can better serve our community, direct suggestions on the newspaper itself, equipment or supplies we might need, computer program instructions you need, or even stories we should cover. I am open to anything. Part of my job is to make this a positive experience, yet it is also an educational opportunity for all of you and the other part of my job is to teach you new skills.
I think that as a staff, we don't know all of each other as well as we should. We did bonding at the beginning of the year which was fun but we didn't continue and I think we kind of lost it. This lack of closeness leads to the problem of us not communicating when we need something. I think we can feel hesitant or nervous to talk to someone about issues they're having with completing an assignment. We should be as open as possible, because then it might save us from a lot of last minute "I didn't get the photos" or "I didn't get my story in". If we are honest and communicative, we could stop a lot of issues before they become worse.
