When you are asked to make a newspaper in a week, what is the first thing you think? Oh, we’re never gonna make it in time? C’mon people, get to work we don’t have a lot of time? Well, it doesn’t matter what you think first as long as you get it finished in the end. The first thing you think as a journalist with a deadline is what do I have to do to get this done? Interviews, research, cite sources, edit, format, rewrite, rethink, photograph and SO MUCH MORE! At Ivy News, the first thing we did for the newspaper was interview the different classes for our news stories. We wrote editorials on celebrity worship and smartphone overdosage, feature stories and reviews. As a news team we worked separately and together. None of us expected the week to turn out the way it did but we all enjoyed it thoroughly and can’t wait to do something like this again! I loved doing this and might think of this as a future career for myself. I also loved working with my fabulous classmates and amazing teacher!
