April 22 -- New projects due

Near Richwood, West Virginia, on Saturday while collecting audio for a story on ramps, a wild leek.

You have a news package due on Friday, April 26. Remember, the original two-week project was April 12th. That means that the two-week deadline is this Friday, the 26th.

TIP: IT IS REALLY EASY TO DO THESE STORIES IF YOU ACTUALLY GO AND TALK TO PEOPLE. TRULY.

Yodit and Lucy: Get the poll ready. Know all the facts so that you are ready to interview Ms. Mader this week. We will be videotaping her. Unfortunately, I locked up the list on Friday. Sorry, guys.

Jeffrey: You need to do a story on JFK's rankings. Why did this happen to us? What is differnt than last year? Ask Ms. Starita and Ms. Wahrman for starters.Also, explain how these rankings work. Are they valid or is it a measure of poverty? If poverty is measure, then how did Wheaton do so much better than we did? Aren't we the same FARM rate? These are intriguing questions that you brought up last week. Follow-up on them.

Michael Cruz: Volleyball and men's lacrosse? Do you have other suggestions? We have been heavy with girls' lacrosse.

B. Tesfaye: Prom from a guy's point of view? How it is like a wedding, perhaps, in that the girls take over and organize the limo crews, etc. Do you have another suggestion?

Adam: So a round-up of clubs. Find out the sponsors. I think it is posted in the faculty mailroom (get one of the aides in the office to help you figure out the list. This story will be an update on what they have done and plan to do.

Everyone else: You need to pitch a story to me. Have a good plan and get started. Friday coming up fast.

Expect a written quiz on all things Boston marathon bombing story on Tuesday. Check out this link about coverage.
