High School Journalism Teacher Fellowship Program
It is essential that journalism students today receive professional-quality
instruction not only in writing and editing, but also in the technology that
has become a vital part of the profession. In order to provide this instruction,
journalism teachers must be skilled in using the computer software and World
Wide Web resources utilized in the industry. This is true not only of college
professors but also of high school journalism teachers. To fulfill this need
in Oklahoma, a workshop was given that concentrated on four topics: (1) desktop
publishing, (2) computer-assisted reporting skills, (3) the First Amendment
and the Student Press, and (4) copy editing.
