Telling the Story: A Guide to Writing, Editing and Designing Student Publications in Print and Online is a basic guide for students publishing newspapers at the college level, both in print and online. Throughout the years of teaching journalism and advising student newspapers, it has become clear that there are few resources available to students to guide them through the process of producing their campus papers. This guide fills some of that void, and provides a basic outline of the steps needed to create quality work. Journalism is a demanding and sometimes thankless job, and campus papers provide students a true glimpse into what lies ahead. While the industry continues to change and evolve, journalists remain devoted to their field and most can think of no other job they would prefer. Telling the Story guides students over the first bumpy road on their journey into journalism.
