Leodis V. McDaniel High School – Newspaper
Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester
Students will work closely with editors of the the newspaper to report on stories that they pitch, or that the editor assigns. We will seek interviews from a variety of sources within the community and report on topics and events that matter, and in doing so we will elevate voices, uplift stories and spread knowledge. Students will also use technology to design print and online publications, through page layouts, recording, photographing and editing. We will also have unique opportunities to meet with professional journalists, and we will practice pitching article ideas to publications both local and national. This is a co-curricular program, so you will be expected to attend events, work on stories and collaborate with peers outside the school day. We will make sure to celebrate our hardwork and product with treats.
