I came here to Indiana University Sunday afternoon not knowing what to expect. I didn't know what the teachers, classes, or even other students would be like. I was happy with all the results. The classes and lectures were both challenging and entertaining: the teachers not only talented, but also excellent communicators; and the students [...]
This week it has come to my attention that the world of journalism is becoming increasingly visual and technological. By using the internet, news now spreads at speeds previously unattainable though print media. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr allow user interaction with media, making it easier to communicate through images and short bite sized [...]
At HSJI 2010, the focus on multimedia journalism was very strong. Coming from a school with very little multimedia coverage, I had a lot to learn about bringing Pattonville into the new area of journalism. During a session about bringing your school newspaper onto the Web, I discovered a process that is not as daunting [...]
When I first stepped through the doors of Teter Hall at Indiana University, I was completely unsure of exactly what to expect. Of course I knew my lessons would be related to assuming the editor-in-chief position of my school’s newspaper this upcoming year, but my experience at the High School Journalism Institute was the first of its [...]

Over the years, the Echo‘s nameplate has changed as new editors determine how they want to run the newspaper. The editors bring in new designs that the staff must follow that year. This year, I designed the 2009-2010 nameplate in an attempt to modernize the Echo. It was my pleasure to find that many students and a previous adviser of [...]
I can’t believe my senior year is here already. It seems like just the other day I was the little fish in the big pond. Now I’m finally on top of the food chain. After leaving HSJI, I knew that this year was going to be great. I had learned so many new things during [...]
By Brianna Slusher, Floyd Central High School Years have come and gone as my experience as a student journalist has developed into a huge component of my life. I have broken down boundaries and acquired skills I plan to use as I pursue a future career in journalism. Starting out in 2007, after my freshman [...]
The day began with an early breakfast of a banana, cereal and– don’t tell my mom– a donut. After eating, it was time to report to Ernie Pyle for a lecture entitled “Why Are E-mail and Facebook Lame Ways to Interview?” The lecture reexamined the process of conducting a successful interview while adding new “tips [...]
