Students in Journalism I will learn the processes involved in print and video journalism, such as news writing, feature writing, sports writing, editorial writing, interviewing, editing, photography, graphic design, and videography. Students will be responsible for regularly publishing the Pius Xchange, Pius’ official student publication. Students will choose newsworthy subjects, interview people, write and edit stories, take photos, and layout the newspaper. Types of writing include hard news, features, opinions, reviews, photo captions, and video voiceovers. Students will also learn and utilize video production technologies to create journalistic videos. This is a yearlong course, but qualified students may be able to sign up at semester. One year of Journalism can satisfy a onetime semester of English credit, or may be used as an elective for graduation.
