Synopsis: Journalism: Publishing Across Media teaches the principles, practices, and styles used in traditional and new media, while exploring core journalism concepts in a student-friendly way to high school learners in first-year Journalism, Communication and Yearbook programs. In contrast to other journalism texts, this text stresses the importance of telling stories through visual, audio, and online elements, as well as the written and spoken word. The chapters are divided into teachable sections that include activities for students to process, discuss, and apply what they have read. A more conversational tone is used in the writing style to engage with students. 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.
