Chieftain Spring 2015 issue 5 FINAL issue

Reporting for the Chieftain

I signed up for the fall semester class called Newspaper Production not knowing what to expect. Surprisingly, it opened me up to a whirlwind of writing and deadlines and bylines – oh, my! – and I wouldn’t change a thing! It has been a wonderful learning experience that has helped hone my editing, researching, and writing skills, as well as provided opportunities to attend additional workshop training at other colleges.
