News story

When we were freshmen we usually thought of school dances as fun or exciting it was a memory we could all have. But now a days as we get older the only dance that seem to qualify in as cool are Sadie's, homecoming, and of course prom. So what make the difference in a dance that's rock'n to the beat and on that just isn't in rhythm. I investigate to see what really is the core of a school dance and really makes them fun.

Ill interview a school official that is at the head of organizing the school dances from where it at to what music to play. Next ill interview a student that is a part of making the dance become a real event, and finally ill interview a student to see what really makes a school dance fun.

notes

Hard news (+/- 600 words): This is how journalists refer to news of the day. It is a chronicle of current events/incidents and is the most common news style on the front page of your typical newspaper.



keep your reading clean and uncluttered, the reader should be able to know what there reading.



Soft news (+/-600 words): This is a term for all the news that isn't time-sensitive. Soft news includes profiles of people, programs or organizations. As we discussed earlier, the "lead" is more literary. Most of YPP's news content is soft news.


Feature (+/-1500 words): A news feature takes one step back from the headlines. It explores an issue. News features are less time-sensitive than hard news but no less newsworthy. They can be an effective way to write about complex issues too large for the terse style of a hard news item. Street kids are a perfect example. The stories of their individual lives are full of complexities which can be reflected in a longer piece.



Hint: Remember to "balance" your story. Present the opinions of people on both sides of an issue and let the readers make their own decision on who to believe. No personal opinions are allowed. The quotes from the people you interview make up the story. You are the narrator.



The lead is the first paragraph of the story

should give a preview and draw the reader in.



soft new should preview the story but have a heart felt start



hard news is giving your reader a preview and the using the 5 w's



always listen to whats going on around you. Read as much as you can.

notes

Censorship: What authority do school officials have to control the content of high school student media?



The First Amendment- Religion, speech, assembly, petition







Public vs. Private Schools



public schools have more freedoms than private schools.







1969 Tinker vs. Des Monies Independent Community District- Improved freedom in school.







Unlawful speech,and Physically disruptive speech.







1986 The Fraser Standard-Inappropriate speech for class president. Steven Fraser makes sexual references in his speech for class president.





If you have a speech that goes against the curriculum of the school the school can censor it.


Is the speech biased or prejudiced, unsuitable, immature.



Morse vs. Frederick( June 24,2007 ) Olympic torche travels through the town, Principal cancles school, seniors hold up a sign hasy " Bong hits 4 Jesus", students for 10 days



Sites are offensive, obnoxiuos and insulting

sites are offensive, obnoxious, and insulting, or voilent

Slander/Liable: something false that you say about someone that severly hurts someones reputation

The catch- knowing something is true and being able to prove something is true are two diffrent thing.
Red Flags: Sexual misconduct, laothsome diseases, lying, academic problems, Racial/religous/ehtnic bigotry, accusations of illegal activitys.

Acting Responsable- Get reliable sources, accurate notes, documents, talk to all the sides, be open minded, never publish a story if you have doubt in the truth of your story.
