Extra, extra. Read all about it

Warwick Valley High school journalism students visited The Warwick Advertiser and the editors of Straus News in Chester to learn about how a weekly newspaper gets put together.
The young journalists learned about graphic design, reporting all sides of a story and editing with fairness. They also explored the views of fellow students.
The 24 students were accompanied by journalism teacher Carrie-Lynn Taylor and English teacher Marilyn Brozycki Smith.
Students and editors brainstorm story ideas
Over pizza, Straus News editors asked the students for their opinions on a range of topics from reviews of the new unit lunch program, their feelings about school security and the impact of cell phones and social media.
For instance, junior Stephanie Gratzel said social media was especially “toxic” for the younger population. She explained explain a personal situation involving her younger sister who had shared with her the inappropriate posts by her peers at a young age.
Students were shown how the papers are set up and how photographs are processed. Page designer Nick Korn demonstrated to the students how to crop and color correct photos to be printed in the newspaper.
'Intelligence, enthusiasm and sophistication'
In the last hour, students separated into chosen groups to work with an editor from Straus News developing and writing stories on the topics discussed during the visit.
“It was a good, informative trip about the process of how the newspaper works,” commented sophomore and first-year journalism student Ethan Wilkins.
“Everyone in the building was impressed with the intelligence, enthusiasm and sophistication of the young people," said Jeanne Straus, publisher of The Warwick Advertiser. "We were energized by the visit and the pandemonium on an otherwise quiet Friday.”
