Photos by Kealey Newton, Mary Lide Parker, and Korie Sawyer. Adviser Internship Teacher recounts her summer experience at The N&O By Carine Crownover Elvy As a veteran photojournalist, Robert Willett knows if he hangs out long enough, his subjects will forget him and he ll capture an image that is both compelling and realistic. Falisha, you just carry on, honey, he tells a 10- year-old Raleigh girl as she enthusiastically practices In Jungle, Doorbell and or tunes for her piano classes with Community Music Center. Willett s assignment was to photograph Falisha Pierre-Louis and her 7-year-old bror, Stephan, as y practiced in ir home over summer while ir music school searched for a new base from which it could continue to offer lessons to economically disadvantaged children. The longer y do that, better. Just let m go, Willett quietly said as he maneuvered about Pierre-Louis family s tidy living room and vied for best angle to frame shots of children delightfully showing off ir musical accomplishments to ir Haitian-born parents. Patience paid off for Willett who captured an adorable image of youngsters spontaneously and lovingly smiling at one anor as Stephan jubilantly harmonized to his sister s accompaniment on a sturdy, upright piano. As in many assignments, I ll get a feeling in my belly that says, OK, you have enough pictures. Mission accomplished, Willett said. It was mission accomplished for me, as well, as I picked up valuable techniques in art of photographic storytelling from Willett, a master of craft and of building nearly instantaneous rapport with his diverse subjects. Shadowing Willett, a 24-year veteran of The News & Observer, was among highlights of seven days I spent in July participating in newspaper s Please see Internship, page 4.

2 Page 2 Five Key Questions on media bias I recently read an editorial in Hendersonville Times-News newspaper (a New York Times paper) by editor, Bill Moss. There had been several articles in paper concerning politics of an election year. Over a period of just a few days Moss received feedback from several readers. How does this fit with media literacy and five key questions of media literacy? 1-All media messages are constructed. The first reader called him and complained of paper being a right wing apologist paper that was hopelessly biased. The or caller accused him and his paper of being a left wing puppet. Both men were reading same local paper and y came to conclusions that were diametrically opposed to each or. 2-How might different peoples understand message differently? Moss went on to say that he could not assert that media bias does not exist. He said that he saw it every day and sometimes his paper was accused of it. He even admitted that sometimes he saw that critic was right. 3-What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message? We can all see bias if we are willing to news in brief continued from page 3 Gar portfolio material for JOY scholarship Encourage your students to start preparing portfolios for N.C. School Journalist of Year competition. Winners in state competition will receive Rachel Rivers-Coffey Scholarship and will be eligible for National School Journalist of Year competition. J. Alan Peoples NCSMAA President look for it. If a newspaper supports a position that we support, we tend to feel that it is doing a good job, and we praise that paper while lambasting opposing view of anor writer. Moss went on to say What restores my faith is awareness of most consumers of news that we all bring our own prejudices to processing of words and images. 4-What creative techniques are used to attract my attention? How do we teach our young journalists and readers to read for understanding? How do we teach m to sift personal bias from an editorial or article? How do we teach tomorrow s editorial writer how to present most balanced column that is humanly possible? 5-Why is this message being sent? Much of this is taught in schools of journalism and with critical thinking; however, I am not sure that it is always possible to overcome a personal belief and present data in a totally unbiased way. In end it is still up to writer to attempt to keep his personal beliefs out of his work, and at same time, it is up to reader to read article from an open-minded point of view. The Five Key Questions of Media Literacy are from Center for Media Literacy at school seniors who have been involved with journalism for at least two years, have at least a 3.0 unweighted GPA, and plan to study journalism and mass communication in college and pursue eir as a career are eligible to apply. Applicants must submit a portfolio, as well as an entry form, transcript, self-evaluation of one s journalistic life and letters of recommendation. Portfolios (see page 6) must be submitted by Feb. 15. For more information, visit Journalism Education Association Web site, November/December 2005 Submission drought means new experiences for literary magazine Every year, staff members of Roars and Whispers schedule three turn-in dates for students to submit ir writing for consideration. The copy editor yours truly typically stays after school to number all of entries. I cross out names with a black Sharpie market and stick about four or five pieces inside each manila envelope. Process done, case closed. Let massacre begin. As a sophomore, I gleefully read each work with a battle-ready smirk. After tallying up which pieces received highest scores, we threw out over half of one-hundred fifty plus submissions that had been entered and were left with about twenty that had a decent shot of making it Suzy Chen NCSMA President into final publication. About ninety-six percent of those twenty ended up being from members of actual staff, but, hey, so what? This year, staff has run into somewhat of a snafu: we simply haven t received as many submissions as in previous years. There were fifty-five entries at our first deadline and forty-five at our second. Maybe such a sick twist of fate will actually be beneficial for our magazine. Recently, Hannah, our business editor, made an impassioned speech at front of class: I realized last night why we make a magazine. We make it so that or people can read it. It had just never occurred to me before. This year, I constantly meet up with people who aren t a part of staff to make revisions to ir pieces. It means that I can no longer simply read a poem and forget about it. Instead, I m involved in writing process, more so now than ever before. Maybe students will finally be excited because y see ir pieces adorning spreads of Roars and Whispers. That s good enough for me.

4 Page 4 Internship continued from page 1. first journalism teacher internship. Overall, internship was highly enriching and rewarding and that s coming from a journalism major who spent 12 years inside newsrooms as a reporter before venturing into scholastic journalism as a publication adviser and journalism teacher. Like Willett, rest of crew at News & Observer was gracious and welcoming. I was overwhelmed by enthusiasm and generosity displayed by nearly every person I met. In both news and advertising departments, my hosts repeatedly asked to peruse pile of newspapers, newsmagazines and literary magazines I brought from Lee County. All were quick to offer suggestions to improve publications literary, visual and financial content and to present a variety of technical, production and even sales tips. Nearly everyone from photographers to advertising reps showed genuine interest in my students work. And, a handful of staffers graphic designers, page designers and like were quick to offer mselves as guest speakers, subject, of course, to approval from ir supervisors. Spending seven days in a half-dozen or so departments at News & Observer also gave me a new perspective on complexity and enormity of newspaper industry. Though I had previously worked as reporter, I only occasionally had ventured into or departments. I really didn t comprehend vastness of operations that took place outside walls of my comfy, gray cubicle. (The bulk of my reporting career was spent as a business writer for The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville in 1990s.) Perhaps, some of most enlightening time at News & Observer was spent in advertising department, which had been largely a foreign entity to me. There, I spent two days with managers, advertising reps, sales assistants and teams of highly talented page designers, graphic artists and or Carine Crownover Elvy creative personnel learning about ir efforts to help produce a variety of weekly sections focused on real estate, automotive and employment. They also are responsible for myriad specialty sections on topics including travel and fashion. Likewise, I learned anor big emphasis for newspaper is ad sales for newsobserver.com, which receives more than 750,000 visitors per month, according to newspaper s 2005 retail advertising rate catalog. Also, not generally known to public or even staffers, newspaper s ad department includes a sizable direct marketing division that helps clients identify and target key customer households and will design, print and mail targeted advertising. And, I was even allowed to listen in to live calls to classified ad department, which operates a state-of- art call center that handles everything from yard sales to lost pets and auctions. (In 2004, center received 160,670 calls; just 3.39 percent of those calls were abandoned, presumably by folks not wanting to queue when call volumes peaked.) Equally enlightening was time I spent in newspaper s online department, which is responsible for presenting day s news along with photos, graphics and maps and audio and visual links when possible as well as posting updates and breaking news and creating a variety of special features. (Some of features are animated, and nearly all use cutting-edge Web design technology.) You never know what you re doing to be working on from one minute to next, said David Feld, news director for Interactive Media. Online can be an extended toolbox to tell a richer story. It s been pretty exciting. Through newsobserver.com, readers have chance to respond to polls about topics in news, participate in interactive forums, check out blogs from select N&O staffers and editors and scan live traffic cams. Recent special features include an interactive, threedimensional, panoramic tour of Pinehurst Resort s famed 18-hole golf course, created for U.S. Open. As well, an ongoing November/December 2005 feature tracks deaths of military personnel with ties to Tar Heel state. As for newsroom, it remains heartbeat of newspaper. Overall, I was impressed by levels of resources, expertise and organization that keep newsroom running with precision of a finely tuned machine. Also, I especially gained a new appreciation for page designers and challenges y face to assemble compelling packages on deadline for breaking news stories. I was awed by Design Editor Teresa Kriegman s seemingly boundless energy as she swiftly and skillfully assembled a package detailing President Bush s prime-time announcement to nominate John G. Roberts to U.S. Supreme Court. The final package included sidebars on judge s past legal decisions, his background, expected fight in U.S. Senate over confirmation, reactions to nomination and or items. After 17 years in newsroom, Kriegsman says she is still passionate about her job and still loves her daily adrenaline fix. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Yes, as friends were quick to ask, spending a week-plus in a newsroom on a major metro daily did revive a lot of memories. More importantly, it rekindled a passion to share joys of print and online journalism with today s youths. Perhaps, no one during my internship summed up quest and passion for print journalism better than Willett. I m happy doing what I m doing. The paper continues to improve itself, to appeal to younger readers. They re constantly trying to make things better, said Willett, as he packed up from shooting a day s assignments, including musical Pierre-Louis children. I feel like I have a huge coil of rope and can run with it. Carine Crownover Elvy is vice president of visual communications for N.C. Scholastic Media Association. She served as a publication adviser at Lee County from July 2001 to September She recently moved to Princeton, N.J., where her husband took a position as a senior engineer with Sarnoff Corporation. Q&A What made you decide to apply for N&O internship? I wanted to share with students a thorough understanding of journalism and of opportunities for careers in reporting, photography, copyediting, design and online presentation. What did you learn that you think will be most useful in classroom? I greatly expanded my knowledge of newsroom operations, especially in copyediting, design, photography and online presentation. As well, I received a crash course in vast operations of advertising department. (Needless to say, all of insight I gained from my internship will provide valuable classroom anecdotes and materials.) As well, many staffers in both news and ad departments were quick to offer a variety of technical, production and even sales tips. What did you wish for more of? I could have easily spent anor week in both news and ad departments, especially in online division. Many schools are interested in launching online publications, and this is a relatively new arena to most advisers. What advice would you give to or school newspaper advisers who might follow you in this internship? Try to set aside a week to two weeks for internship. Gain as much exposure as possible to as many departments as possible. Ask lots of questions, especially on technical matters. Take detailed notes. Many staffers are quick to offer advice to help troubleshoot production and even financial issues; many also are willing to serve as guest speakers. Bring plenty of copies of your publications, and be sure to seek feedback from a variety of staffers. Most are eager to provide insights to pass along to students.

5 November/December 2005 Page 5 Technology update Dual core processors, digital SLRs, DVD burners to dominate in 2006 By Fred Thomsen As with 2004, this has been a relatively quiet year for technology, along with anticipation for things to come in Hardware highlights: Computers with dual core processors have been most exciting hardware development. These provide two execution cores in one processor, providing you with some of capabilities of true dual processor computers at a lower cost. You will benefit when running applications such as Photoshop that take advantage of multiprocessing. In addition, Intel has introduced dual core technology throughout its line of processors, including low-power Pentium M, providing improved performance for laptops. So, where do Macintosh users stand with respect to this technology? This year s PowerMacs feature dual core G5s. The PowerMac G5 Quad is a two dual core processor machine, which provides significant speed gains for design and multimedia applications. However, biggest news from Apple this year, or than perhaps ipod Nano, was its decision to abandon PowerPC G4 and G5 in favor of Intel processors for future computer hardware, beginning in The first beneficiaries are likely to be ibooks and PowerBooks. Due to heat and power limitations, se lines have lagged behind with G4s, and are in need of updating. Dual core Pentium Ms should be a great improvement. If you have not yet made jump to digital photography it is becoming more attractive and affordable. You can now get Steadily Lowered Rates Digital SLRs, like this Canon Rebel XT, are becoming increasingly more affordable for schools. Photo from many 6 megapixel with advanced features for under $400. If you already have a Canon SLR camera and want a digital SLR, look at Rebel XT, an 8 megapixel camera for under $1,000 that is compatible with existing Canon lenses. CNET (www. cnet.com) provides a good guide to choosing digital cameras, along with reviews of leading products, and free, online how-to courses. Backing up your data is, or should be, an important consideration. A side effect of improved multimedia technology is size of files that are created. Raw image files, for example, can be many megabytes in size, and y can add up quickly. What can you back m up to? Fortunately, most computer manufacturers offer DVD burners as an option, and Apple includes a dual layer DVD burner as standard on all its desktop models. Dual layer DVDs provide twice capacity of standard DVDs, up to 8.5GB, but remain compatible with existing DVD readers and players. Software highlights: Again, 2005 has seen some excitement, but also leaves some anticipation for future. The most prominent software development of year has been Apple s OS X 10.4 (Tiger). The search capability of Spotlight alone makes this a worthwhile product. Adobe s release of Creative Suite 2 has also been positive. The applications in suite are now better integrated. It is true that some familiar features and keystrokes have changed in particular applications, but re is now a better common interface across applications. What remains to be seen in coming year is how Adobe Macromedia merger will work, and what it will mean for future products. For those of you who still use Quark, one positive change this year has been Quark s (re)discovery of customer service. The company now suggests that it cares about its users. In addition, we can look forward to Quark 7, which promises many new features and should ship in early Finally, PC users can await MS Vista, new Windows operating system which is now anticipated for end of Fred Thomsen is director of information technology and services for School of Journalism and Mass Communcation at UNC-Chapel Hill.
