The chapters are divided into teachable sections that include opportunities for students to process and apply what they have read. Examples of student and professional work accompany the text.
- Writers’ Workshops in each chapter lead students through a process that emphasizes writing for an audience, develops students’ writing ability, and trains them for future editorial leadership.
- Journalism Style activities at the end of each chapter teach students the skills they need to create written copy in accepted journalism style.
- The text includes abundant examples and assignments derived from real-life high school publishing situations to help create strong writers and editors who are grounded in journalistic values, ethics, and practices.
