This page represents the work done by nine St. Roch’s students in an eightweek mini-course called “Introduction to Newspaper Journalism.” (We had planned to fill two pages, but this proved impractical.) Our goal was to learn, by doing, about the skills and steps involved in producing a newspaper such as The Paper. As time did not permit us to engage in an elaborate revision and polishing process, I have edited these stories very gently so that the flavor of each student’s writing remains.
Our class, all boys (Where are our future Barbara Walterses, Connie Chungs, and Sally Quinns?), did a fine job, and I want to give each one due recognition.
