Today in journalism class we were honored to have Mr. Kevin Cloe, publisher from the Wickenburg Sun, come in and speak to us about the aspects of journalism writing.
He answered many of our questions and even gave us a question of his own for us to answer, "Why are you in journalism class?"
Some of the students answered with fire in their eyes like Alex Camacho, expressing their passion for this class, and some answered with their version of truth for just needing an extra class. Both answers were well respected and understandable. Honesty is the best policy.
Further more, Kevin Cloe said, "Beware of creative writing. If you get too creative you can lose your point in the writing. Don't lose focus on the facts."
This sound piece of advice seemed to appeal to several creative writers in our class who are looking to expand on their own world of writing. Mr. Burd backed up this statement agreeing in full. Journalism class is for productivity and what is happening in the "now" at our school.
The journalism class as a whole is hoping to receive another visit from Mr. Cloe soon, in hopes of more advice and tips.
