Something important to me about journalism is being able to make connections with other people around campus. When writing articles I am able to go to more events and learn more about what is going on at our school.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned these past 3 years in this class that Journalism is one of my strongest passions. I want to improve everyday, to write better, to interview better, to become a better journalist. I think Journalism is critical in our current society and I want to be part of this undeniable impact.

I am in Journalism 2 because I want to pursue writing/journalism in the future. I want to become a sports writer for a publication. It's important to me because it helps me expand ideas more efficiently and it has helped me improve my writing skills and time management.

I think that we have done an amazing job on timeliness and just getting blasts out in that two week time period. even though it can get a little stressful with other work, I think the end result is worth it

On a personal level I just like having my voice heard because I am a pretty opinionated person, so I love writing opinion pieces that provide some sort of commentary. But I also love being able to really connect with more people all over campus through articles and learning more about people and activities I wouldn't be familiar with if it wasn't for journalism.

# data[].attributes.body
I originally joined Journalism because my friend from a club team was EIC at Calabasas. Her passion for writing really inspired me, and I took the opportunity to join J1 my freshman year.

I stayed for J2 because I've come to realize this is a place where I'm forced to sit with my thoughts. It's helped me grow not only as a writer, but also as a person who's able to express emotion through words.

# data[].attributes.body
It is my English class and how I learn to write better

# data[].attributes.body
I've always been very focused and indecisive on what I want to do with my life, but one of the constants has always been writing. It's something that I've always thrived in and as soon as I stepped into JI last year I knew it just made sense for me. Not only do I get to write but I also get to make an impact with my writing which is so important to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I am in J2 because this is honestly something I have really fun doing. I am able to learn and write about things that I care about. This is one of the extracurriculars that I do where I am so proud of all the work I've done. I also really love the environment and the people. This is a place where I can do something I am really passionate about and try new things.

# data[].attributes.body
The class is wonderful, everyone this year is willing to help and genuinely interesting in writing high quality articles for our community. I also love the brainstorming, it works my brain and creativity.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the interactive slides the EiCs do each class. (instead of it being lecture oriented)

Getting content uploaded and having great coverage of articles among activities, clubs, sports and more

I love to express through writing and it helps become better at communication when your always trying to tell a story

I would say putting articles out in a timely manner has been the best thing so far this year and making sure that article are written well.

# data[].attributes.body
An article that provides new insight or useful information on a topic while having some form of humanity injected by the writer.

Journalism is such an important part of my life because at the root of it, I want to learn about my community. Journalism is a way to seek out those stories, viewpoints, and people that make up Oak Park and the world beyond our school, hence why I'd love to do a double-major or minor in journalism for college.

# data[].attributes.body
having more time to fully flesh out articles - we need to have our articles in pretty quickly and because of that we publish a bunch of articles at once and I don't think I always put out my best possible work

# data[].attributes.body
I've always felt better after I write, and journalism has been my outlet since freshman year. I never knew it was a possibility until I took J1 and now I'm confident it will be my future career. I want to learn all I can and become a better writer in order to make it work and give back to all that the class/practice of student press has given me.

# data[].attributes.headline
My favorite part of the class is probably writing for the magazine. I love collaborating with other writers, seeing what the editors have to say, and the reaction from the students when they see it.

I like how collaborative the class is. I get to work with many different people on different projects. Whether its walking with a classmate to go get interviews or discussing the design a writer wants for their art, the collaborative nature of this class is my favorite part.

I would define a meaningful article as a piece of writing which creates an impact towards the reader.

This class is important to because it helps me tap into a more creative side that I didn't even know I had. I can enjoy writing about things that teach me more about my community and school. I have met so many smart and kind people in this class and being surrounded by all of these good writers helps me become better in what I love to do.

I'm in journalism because I like writing and I think that it is important to find some way to express my voice and opinion. When I write, I get a chance to show others what I want to say without having to force it upon people. Rather, I get to tell my opinion and be informative in a way that is easy for me to express.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm in J2 because I really enjoy writing articles and helping to inform people. It always feels good when someone comes up to me or texts me and is like "wow your article was really good" or "your article was really informative I didn't even know about that".

I love how active we are this year in publishing our articles. We are getting more articles done on time and creating a lot of content for the Talon. I am very proud to be part of this team because of this.

something that you are passionate about, and that passion shines through in the writing. I think its less about the topic, although that is really important, but more about why you chose that topic and what it means to you.

Working with Penelope :) and everyone else, hearing ideas, collaborating, getting to share.

My favorite part of the class is probably the reporting. I love interviewing and communicating with people because I also love a chance to talk and get to know more people at our school. I feel like it's so important for people's accomplishment at our school to all shine, because they work hard in it just like we do with journalism.

I'm grateful for the people around me who give me corrections to my writing, aka the editors. Sometimes when I write, I have "writers blindness" where I'm completely obvlivious to the mistakes I'm making. And having people who are willing to take the time to read through my writing, and give me critiques is something I'm extremely thankful for.

# data[].attributes.body
I think more topics on like things I am interested in - clubs I am in, topics that find interesting like politics, less about things I can find on the website and more investigative pieces that answer a broader question of mine

Pushing out the blasts this year on time has been a big change. Ever since I joined journalism, there have been many issues w/determining when the blasts will go out and if they even can. Ofc there are some deadlines people miss but overall we are doing really well.

I really enjoy writing, and I feel like I share my opinions/use my voice best through writing. I love reading newspapers; truthful news reporting is really important to me, so it's so special to be a part of a class that is dedicated to that. It also is really rewarding to work so hard towards a project and then watch it be read/enjoyed by students.

We could try to publish more content but still space it out among writers so that people don't feel stressed

# data[].attributes.body
Just like last year, I would admit I contribute to the issue as well, but just having articles all go out specificially during the blast, instead of having spaced out articles. This is something I am trying to work on myself.

More consistency with our coverage and flow of articles.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like hearing other people's ideas and reading all the interesting articles published on the website and being published myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been with J1 since freshman year and all I can say is that there's been a huge change in work ethic and the amount of work put into this class.

During my first two years, work was always blown off, and nothing was really getting done. Getting hammered for not finishing work is really humbling, but also it's great for character development I'd say.

# data[].attributes.body
A meaningful article is something that people can read and find value in. It can give someone a new perspective on something that they may have been more closed off to and it can help people understand new things about our school and the world we live in.

Our blast is already good but it could be better. More viewership would be nice. More advertising, like on social media, would be beneficial. Higher quality pictures would also be nice to add to our articles to look more professional.
