own resources and sources The 4 Ws (who what when where) can usually be covered in spot news coverage he said But to bring the additional “Why” into the story the reporter needs background “His purpose then becomes one of putting the facts into per- spective” Cheney said Competition and the lack of money for reporters makes it necessary to often write without the inclusion of the “why” of reporting Digging for background in- be that can formation documented is another problem faced by the reporter While researching for someone with information on the subject the reporter must be wary about who to believe Cheney said “Those who know what’s going on in many cases have vested interests and you can’t always trust what they tell you” he said “Even if you don’t have all the documents like a court would have you have to think like a judge” he added Open to 88 high school juniors and seniors in Utah and Idaho the workshop has stressed the need for professionalism in both newspaper production and yearbook Practical experience has been "Sun Set" provided music at patio dance topping off Ttsmily fun night Jujie 19 gained through the production of yearbook layouts and newspaper editions Students have studied the backgrounds of production in these areas as well as the writing of and technical aspects presentation Representatives from year- book printers and local jour- Conversation Session session of “Conversations” sponsored by the Women’s Center will be held Tuesday June 25 from 12 to 1 The first pm in UC 313 The programs are designed to discussions with of the staff with guest members speakers or among the participants themselves The first meeting will explore “Programs of the Women’s Center” and codirectors Helen Lundstrom and nalists have been on hand be informal throughout the week to aid in the studies of the students Under acting director Lynn Rhoades the workshop ended Friday with an awards presentation to the four outstanding students involved in the workshop Marilynne Glatfelter will be looking for suggestions about structuring future programs Everyone is invited to bring a “sack lunch” to eat while they participate in the seminar Staff and townfaculty students invited-tare participate speople o Other programs currently being offered are a hiking class for women with hikes scheduled each Thursday and a personal assessment seminar which meets weekly Further information about these can be had by calling the Center Ext 7528 752-410- 0 |
