I just got an e-mail from one of the guys who heads The Collegiate, the award-winning student-run newspaper of Grand Rapids Community College, the very paper that I will be working on this fall. Apparently, every student will be assigned a beat around campus, such as admissions, parking, and so forth. In addition, people can apply to be editor's on the paper. I could try to be an Arts and Entertainment Editor, the Photography Editor, the Sports Editor (ha!), the Copy Editor or even the Editor-in-Chief. Scary.
For the fall semester, I will have to crank out at least six stories, one for each publication date. Oh, I hope the other classes don't have much homework to do for them...

Count on cranking out more than six... I was friends with a few guys who worked on the Collegiate back in the day and they were forever caterwauling about having to make up for other contributors who had issues with deadlines.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time this fall!
