We are students of Journalism I (Fall semester) and Journalism II (Spring semester) who have been taught by Mr. Mike McCrobie and Mr. Bill Reeser on ways of writing style, interview etiquette, photography and layout.
We use Adobe Photoshop CS3 to design and create graphics. We use Adobe InDesign Cs3 to layout our papers. We publish about once a month, printing being done by The Palladium-Times.
Staff members have been award-winning writers, artists,and photgraphers. We are among the best high school newspapers in CNY, having won numerous gold awards from the Empire State School Press Associtation and at High School Press Day, with awards presented by The Post-Standard and the S.I.
