EL200: Project Portfolio

Hello, and welcome to my weblog where this entry is the final compilation of my term project for EL:200 Media Lab at Seton Hill University. This is a course taken for 0-1 credits for participation with the campus newspaper, The Setonian, for which I currently hold the position of editor-in-cheif.

For my term project, I undertook updating The Setonian production manual which was last done in 2005 by then editor-in-chief Anne Stadler and Amanda Cochran, news editor (who went on to the top role after Anne). Basically the manual needed sorted through and organized. Most of the content was fresh and concise even from three years ago, but I added a few things like articles on editorial position duties written by other Setonian staffers, a handout on QuarkXPress, and other "examples" like article assignment formats.

• Informal Reflection- reflection on my term project
• Relevant Communication:

Portfolio 1- This first portfolio includes my project proposal

Portfolio 2- Second report of progress on my project within portfolio 2

Boord Talks Business- My article on Jennifer Boord, who was business manager for The Setonian until this semester, as per the class assignment to contribute to my project

• One Page Handout- This is a handout I included in my revised version of the production manual on layout tips and reminders
