What’s Due, What’s Next?

Reminder that the final version of your newsy feature story is due on Friday, Feb. 27 @ 11:59 PM. (Earlier is GREAT, too.) Please put your revised pieces in this folder by the deadline. And raise the chance of publication with a photo; it needs to be horizontal, not vertical.

Here are the powerpoints from class.

And for class on Tuesday March 3:

• Bring a pitch for someone you’d like to interview for our profile assignment. Your profile should be about someone and something — and at best, have news angle.
• Your profile should be 700-800 words. And you must be able to interview your subject in person and shoot a photo.
• You will also interview one other person about your profile subject.
• What to read: “Is Kamala Harris Black Enough,” Washington Post by Robin Givhan. Read background about the Proust Questionnaire — and choose five questions you like best. Select one, two or all of the following versions of the questionnaire to discuss in class: Zendaya , David Bowie , Jean Smart.

French novelist, critic and essayist Marcel Proust, 1871-1922
