Jo-Ann Armao, Washington Post
Bruce Squiers, The Daily Gazette, SchenectadyWe will have two speakers coming in next week. Please try to make it to class. My admonitions and threats of lowered grades seem not to have helped, but you are adults, so make your own decisions.
I hope you will come and be prepared with lots of questions, good, bad, personal, impertinent, probing, weird. There are no stupid questions.
Monday we will hear from Jo-Ann Armao, a Washington Post editorial writer. She was for nine years the assistant managing editor for local news at the Post, the highest news position ever held there by a woman. OK, not counting Katharine Graham, the legendary publisher during the Watergate years.
She will be talking about editorial writing and how it differs from news writing. You will be given an assignment to blog about after this. It will be due by end of day Wednesday.
Wednesday, our speaker with be a senior photographer from The Daily Gazette in Schenectady, Bruce Squiers. And again after this class, you'll get an assignment to post to your blogs no later than end of day Friday.
