Summary
In order to get information for newsletter articles, the students created online forms to get general population input. The journalism students used this information to write articles which represented all student opinions instead of their acquaintances. The journalism students used the morning announcements and handed out “business card” directions on accessing their forms. This was received well and allowed more information to be collected for news stories..
