“I took newspaper because I love being able to express all of my different ideas through writing and explore different designs through the newsmagazine. My favorite part of the class is being able to surround myself with other staff members who have similar goals for improvement and inspiration for success. I love spending every day with all of our dedicated staff. I love learning different styles of writing and ideas from other staff members. Learning new software and layouts is also a great opportunity for patriot press.”

“There weren’t enough people to hold a Journalism 1 class my freshman year, so I was put into newsmagazine as a freshman. It was daunting at first because I didn’t know anyone, was new to the journalistic writing style, and I was online. Despite my initial discomfort, I learned the ropes quickly and enjoyed the process of writing and producing copies of the Patriot Press! My favorite part of the class: I signed up for this class because I love to read and write, so it felt like a fit from the start. Newsmag has introduced me to so many amazing people and I love shedding light on topics around school or locally.”

I started taking Newsmagazine a year early, skipping Journalism 1 and starting it my freshman year. I was really interested in being able to write about a variety of topics and getting them published in a magazine, so I decided to take the class early. Although getting used to the class with more experienced Juniors and Seniors was a little difficult at first, I got accustomed to it and got into the flow of the class. My favorite thing about the class definitely has to be the atmosphere. I love being able to go into the classroom and write or help edit someone else’s story; it’s really fulfilling and I love what the class has taught me about reading and writing!

I took newspaper because I love to write and I love it when others benefit from my writing. When Mr. Finamore told me about the class I was ecstatic and knew it was the right choice for me. My favorite thing about the class is the people. Everyone is so productive and kind but also will tell you like it is when necessary. I want to learn how to be the best I can be when it comes to being an editor of a news magazine.

I took newspaper because I enjoy expressing myself through words and writing. I have always been passionate about writing, and l love sharing my work with others. I love the whole environment of the class. Everyone is so welcoming, and I love listening to the creative ideas everyone has. The people in this class make taking it worthwhile. I want to improve my writing so it’s more enjoyable and learn how to become a better writer because there is always room for improvement.

I decided to take newspaper because writing and journalism have always been some of my hobbies. I wanted to be able to take my creative interest and channel it into something productive as well as school-associated. Also, Rory Gilmore did have a bit of an influence! I love all the people I work with, that would probably be my favorite part of newspaper. The different personalities and perspectives of each person always keep me looking forward to class. I’m excited to experiment and learn with different writing styles I’m not used to. I have high hopes by the end of this year I’ll be a stronger writer when it comes to informational content.
