Final post for November
1. Check out this article and the graphic that goes with it. You'll have to click on the MULTIMEDIA side bar that says "Timeline for Chinese Democracy". It's a great graphic as it parallels GNR with the music world. What do you think? Is it effective? Eye catching? How might we use this idea for something in The Voice? What specific article ideas could be expressed through this kind of graphic? Think outside the box! Go crazy.
2. Here's a story on a trend from the NYTimes. It's well written, focused, and appealing to more people than those receiving shoe shines. Great. Now, what trends could we focus on in the next edition of The Voice? What sliver of campus could we expose and bring to the greater community?
Share your thoughts, comments, brilliance.

Week 13
Here we go ...
1. From the lead to the final line, the reporting, interviewing, quoting, writing and description are worth studying. This article titled "Guard Shot During Robbery Attempt at Waldorf" is amazing. The action verbs alone are a lesson. These reporters have, indeed, told a story. What do you think of this piece? Comment on the structure.
2. Another interesting story involving your favorite site: Facebook. What are you thoughts? Comments? Insights? Was the response from the school appropriate?
3. Just an interesting read on copyright violation and the struggles a school goes through to deal with it. Thoughts? Comments? What do we as a newspaper need to do to avoid some of these issues?

Week 12
1. While the article is an interesting read, what do you think of the graphic? This is from the Sunday Style section of the NYTimes. How could we use this simple layout and design spread to tell a story at MA? There's lots of room to tell stories with pictures, even in our publication. Thoughts? Comments? Ideas?
2. It's too important a moment to pass up, so comment on two of the front page designs from Wednesday, November 5. You can look through national, international, and alternative news outlets. There's some pretty cool and varied ideas. What worked best? What design did you like? Any headlines more interesting than others? What would you have done? Any ideas to bring to The Voice front page?

Week 11
Whoa -- lots going on. And, lucky you, some of it is local!
1. Check out this article from the Marin IJ regarding a student at Redwood High that has been suspended for distributing an underground newspaper. What are your thoughts on this situation? Remind yourself of some recent readings on the law and websites and comment on whether or not this student should have been suspended. Is it relevant to include that this student has gotten in trouble with the school prior to this incident?
2. Cartoon time. Here are some great editorial cartoons from the last week. What do you think? Effective? Not so much? What role do editorial cartoons play in the media these days? In this charged political climate?
