Our final day!

Editors: re-read articles, check all graphics, push out content

Staffers: a little self-reflection

Please respond to the following questions, print out your answers, and hand it in to me by the end of class.

1. Please reflect on your best work this semester. What made the work good? What engaged you in the process?
2. Please reflect on a time when you were off your game. What happened? What did you need from me or an editor that could have helped you?
3. Discuss 5-7 ways that The Voice could draw readers to the website. Facebook, twitter, instagram, word of mouth, etc. Think big but keep it simple.
4. Look over the Briefs list and suggest 5-7 new ideas for next year. Think about what worked for you and what you didn't love. Remember that we need more adequate coverage in sports.
5. As a reader and staff member, what else would you like to see The Voice do? Article topics, article formats, you name it.
6. Any last questions, comments, concerns, complaints, suggestions, insights?

More work and more fun

Editors: check-in about brief list, read briefs & then look over articles to see what still needs to get done

Staff: Work on graphics, work on stats/resources list. Is each article framed appropriately? What voices are missing? What's left to get done? Remember -- another round of drafts is due on Friday.

Day ?: Drafts & graphics due and resources

Drafts due: Editors read

Staff: Each article needs to have a "How to get help" section. The headings for this section should be as follows:

1. If you need help (on-campus, in San Rafael, in the Bay area)
2. If you have a friend who needs help (on-campus, in San Rafael, in the Bay Area)

These sections need be vetted by Joani and Sanjai/Charis. We want to make sure that we offer the proper protocol for students who need help.

Check-ins: What shape are the graphics in? What is left to be done for each article? Holes? Remaining interviews? Discussion about anonymous sources.
