| This laboratory class serves as the production class for the print and Web editions of the college's student newspaper, The Inquirer. The student-run newspaper is a frequent winner of General Excellence awards from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges, with its editors and staff members transferring to four-year schools and later working as media professionals. The class introduces students to all aspects of print and online production, including assigning, researching and writing stories; taking photographs and video; cartooning; creating podcasts, slide shows and graphics; designing print and web pages; and working with a local printer. Staff writers learn basic and advanced reporting techniques, as well as how to write strong leads, organize their stories and write and revise on deadline for print and the Web. Photographers and graphic artists learn to prepare their work on a networked server for both platforms. Editors and staff members must exercise news judgment, adhere to the highest ethical principles and be vigilant about accuracy. They also exercise their First Amendment responsibilities by allowing The Inquirer to be a First Amendment forum for the diverse views of the DVC community. This is an open-entry, open-exit course.
