NYC high school journalism intervisitation series

[Katina Paron]

This year, numerous scholastic journalism organizations and newspaper advisers are working together to create an intervisitation series. The goal is to have students from various newsrooms around the city visit a host site to learn about that school's newspaper, its work flow, its current pieces in progress, and more. Here is a general overview of how the day will work:

MORNING SCHEDULE:

1. The host students will:

   1. 1. Walk visitors through their workflow/publication schedule/positions

      2. Share a sample of published pieces they are proud of and present on the process that brought the piece to publication

      3. Discuss works in progress & goals for the year

   2.  The host advisor will:

      1. Provide an overview of what’s changed/important trends for the paper

   3. The host team will:

      1. Hold a Q&A session
         
         

2. LUNCH

   1. During lunch students will be paired with their counterparts (editors-in-chief from multiple schools, photo editors, sports editors, etc.) to eat and discuss their respective roles.
      
      

3. AFTERNOON SCHEDULE:

   1. The guests (and hosts) are given space to hold a team meeting and generate ideas based on what they got out of the morning session/lunch session. It could be article ideas, ideas for how to change workflow, etc. 

   2. Shareout: Each team shares out their ideas/plans generated in the previous meeting.

   3. Awards: We would like to have each host site review some strong work from guest papers and offer certificates/commendations to participating students.
