1. What's coming up. Briefs on Thursday. First draft of articles due next week (Monday). Final is due mid-November.
2. Write your article pitch. Why would anyone want to read the article. You'll read the pitch to the group, we'll discuss, we'll say yes or no. We'll make it better.
This is a place for the staff of the MA Voice to engage in on-line discussion about issues relating to and inspiring good writing, reading and journalism.
Goal for staff: Make each day your masterpiece. You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be.
Goal for editors & advisor: Define success for those under your leadership as total commitment and effort to the team's welfare. Then show it yourself with your own effort and performance. Most of those you lead will do the same. Those who don't should be encouraged to look for a new team. — John Wooden
