“It’s important for journalists to understand the business of how journalism works” @KaylaGagnet said today! I will definitely be using all these tips in the future! #suttonclass @willsutton @theadvocateno @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

@KaylaGagnet emphasized the importance of headlines. For me, I usually wait until the last second to write my headlines. Now, I definitely will try to focus more on them! #suttonclass @willsutton @theadvocateno @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Today we heard from @KaylaGagnet about the job of a senior editor at a newspaper! She works a lot on growing the audience of people reading @theadvocateno! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD @

In order to get to know communities, @KStickneyPANews usually spends the first few months visiting local museums, campuses, churches, libraries and more. Something I will keep in mind for my future! #suttonclass @willsutton @theadvocateaca

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

@KStickneyPANews emphasized the importance of getting to know the city you work in. For him, working in small communities means knowing the ins & outs of what the community cares about #suttonclass @theadvocateaca @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Today I heard from @KStickneyPANews in @willsutton’s class! It was interesting to hear the perspective of a journalist working in a small town #suttonclass @LoynoSCD @theadvocateaca

@QuinHillyer knew opinion writing was his only path because of how strongly he believes news journalist should not have an opinion. Once his politics were out there, there was no going back! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD @dcexaminer

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Hearing about a guest who loves writing but also loves being involved in politics is interesting to me! @QuinHillyer knew once he joined politics, opinion writing was the only way to go for him! #suttonclass @willsutton @dcexaminer @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Thank you to @QuinHillyer for speaking to our class and spreading some knowledge about how journalism has changed within the last few years! #suttonclass @LoynoSCD @willsutton @dcexaminer

As a now extremely successful journalist and a clear social justice advocate, the path @juangon68 took shows that you don’t need to give up your voice to be a journalist. You are such an inspiration! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

@juangon68 explained to us that The Young Lords had their own newspaper in English and Spanish that was published weekly. Because of this, he had a lot of experience in writing and journalism before working for a paper! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Learning that @juangon68 was part of The Young Lords was so inspiring. After some more research, I learned that one of the cities the group formed in was my hometown Chicago! Thank you for talking to our class today! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

When talking about opinion writing, @binajv suggested being an observer and soaking things in everywhere you go. Thank you again for your visit! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

@binajv suggests having an area of expertise when writing opinions. For her, she spent years working for different companies learning about health and the environment. Then, she applied that to opinion writing! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Today I learned so much about the ins and outs of being an opinion writer at @BostonGlobe! Thank you @binajv for visiting our class today! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

Learning about a day in the life of a editorial cartoonist from @Walt_Handelsman was so inspirational! I learn about all of the similarities between editorial writing & editorial sketching #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

After watching his Walt Toons short cartoon videos today, I cannot get Bare Necessities out of my head 😂 @Walt_Handelsman’s Walt Toons are so catchy they’ll stick with you all day!! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

I have so much respect and admiration of editorial cartoonist because I know I’d never be able to do it. Thank you @Walt_Handelsman for visiting our class today! #suttonclass @willsutton @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

When hearing from opinion writers, they’ve emphasized that you need a thick skin & ability to state your opinion without fear. @monicarhor discussed this & shows it in her articles! #suttonclass @willsutton @HoustonChron @LoynoSCD

[Lucy Foreman @lcforeman]

“It’s not just enough to feel something, you have to do the reporting too” @monicarhor said while speaking about finding subjects and writing opinions #suttonclass @LoynoSCD @HoustonChron @willsutton
