Journalism 2 is an advanced course for students who have completed Journalism I and are ready to apply their skills in a professional, collaborative setting. Students work as a newsroom team to produce a school news publication, taking on roles in writing, editing, photography, design, and layout. Building on foundational techniques, students refine their journalistic voice and apply ethical standards, research strategies, and media production skills in real-world contexts. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, editorial decision-making, and meeting publication deadlines. Journalism 2 provides authentic experience in media creation and prepares students for leadership roles in student journalism and beyond.
