READ ALL THE STORIES FROM THE SPECIAL EDITION HERE ON LARIATNEWS.COM.
This special edition of the college student newspaper, the Lariat, is a product of the summer journalism class (JRN 120). The class offered two main goals: To inform and educate.
A key objective of the class was to assist new and returning students in learning about the excellent educational programs and activities available to them at Saddleback College.
Secondly, the course served as a vehicle for students wishing to explore the field of journalism. They had the opportunity to interview sources, write and edit stories, learn about page layout and computer design, take photos and write headlines and cutlines.
They also got a lesson in print media law and ethics.
