More on newspapers

Last week I had the editor of a local 'rag' come to talk to my English Language Learners about writing in general, and what it takes to write for a newspaper. He emphasized the ability to be "digitally saavy" and gave them new information about both the qualifications of a reporter as well as the idea behind what good news means (right now, today, after this election...I am not quite sure! Sorry...my own viewpoint is showing here!). It was a great lesson all around for them.
