State of the World's Children 2012 - Children in an Urban WorldUNICEF Publications
This report anticipates the rapidly approaching day when the majority of the world’s children will grow up in urban areas. It observes that many of these places are marked by pronounced inequality in power and resources that in turn lead to disparity in children’s survival and development.
The report adds to the growing base of evidence and analysis of inequity and the need for strategies to reach excluded children and families wherever they live. It builds on work, by UNICEF and many partners, to show that the children who are most deprived, vulnerable and difficult to reach are to be found not only in remote rural parts but also in the very urban centres that are home to commercial, political and cultural elites.
The document discusses crisis management strategies and provides examples of crises faced by universities. It describes Springfest 2010 at James Madison University where 8,000 students gathered, bottles were thrown, and police used tear gas and pepper spray to control the situation. It also details the Duke lacrosse scandal where three players were falsely accused of rape before charges were dropped. Finally, it examines Penn State's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal and failure to properly report incidents over many years. The document advocates for proper crisis planning, leadership, communication, and prevention strategies.
This document provides information about Hurricane Sandy including:
1. Sandy caused widespread damage along the East Coast of the US and Canada, killing at least 51 people in the US and Canada and 68 in the Caribbean.
2. Sandy had tropical-force winds that stretched over 1,100 miles in diameter, making it the largest Atlantic hurricane on record.
3. The document outlines safety tips for using generators, grills, and electrical equipment after the storm to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and electrocution.
Crisis on Campus: Steering the Social Media ConversationBrian Huonker
When a crisis strikes your campus, how you respond in the realm of social media or your lack of response can dramatically alter the way you manage your communications during the event. Hear two campus communications pros one from each district discuss how best to use social media to lead conversation in a crisis situation. Brian Huonker, Assistant Director, University Marketing at Illinois State University, will discuss how his campus leveraged social media to steer the online conversation following the death of two students. Andrew Careaga, director of communications at Missouri University of Science and Technology, will talk about how Missouri S&T used social media when a gunman drove onto campus in May 2011.
COVID High School Vaccination Advisory Presentation JohnSamuels17
COVID education and vaccination presentation for high school and middle school students. High school students in the inner city tend to display a high level of vaccine hesitancy. With students assimilating much false and confusing information on social media, our high school principal asked us to produce an advisory presentation to help students overcome vaccination hesitancy and to educate them on COVID. We endeavored to provide truthful information that presents both the positives and risks of COVID vaccination. The authors of this presentation have determined to allow this presentation to be downloaded and used by educators in public, charter or private schools without modification for the purpose of educating students about COVID and COVID vaccination. Statistics in this presentation will be updated at least monthly.

Digital and social media are changing how environmental information is conveyed to the public. Where specialized journalists once reported on issues like climate change, people can now get information from diverse online sources. The talk discusses how environmental communicators can adapt by directly engaging with publics on platforms like blogs, social media, and online video. New models include collaborations between scientists and communicators, citizen science networks, and student-produced documentaries. Overall, the talk argues the online environment provides opportunities for networked, collaborative coverage that can improve environmental understanding if approaches ensure trustworthy information.
Considering the main theme of the Congress “Innovations in Social Psychiatry Across the World,” our symposium, which is organized by the WASP Section of Family Intervention Programs, will address both themes proposed by the congress: Psychosocial Interventions in Psychiatry and Mental Health Users and Care Givers and their role in improving the recovery of psychotic patients, especially with the Covid-19 pandemic tsunami:
(1) Prof. Mathew Varghese will talk about Family interventions with psychoses, in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic through a trial of an online caregiver training program.
(2) Dr. Yann Hodé’s presentation addresses whether the Family Intervention Program “Profamille” reduces suicidality due to better compliance.
(3) Dr. Fattah’s presentation will develop a new management paradigm involving a former patient as a new agent of recovery and elaborate the role of the Peer Health Mediator within an outpatient unit and what he brings with his experiential knowledge of the disease, promoting recovery in patients and empowerment in their families.
(4) Prof. Vincenzo Di Nicola addresses the impact on vulnerable youth and families of the Covid-19 “syndemic” (defined as a series of simultaneous pandemics with both biological and social psychiatric vectors), with an emphasis on youth at risk for psychosis and related mental and relational disorders.

The Experimental Child - Child and Family Impacts of the Coronavirus Syndemic
Abstract
Not only is the coronavirus crisis a natural laboratory of stress offering health and social care services a unique historical opportunity to observe its impact on entire populations around the world, but the responses to the crisis by international health authorities, such as the WHO, along with national and local educational institutions and health care and social services, are creating an unprecedented and unpredictable environment for children and youth. This hostile new environment for growth and development is marked by the sudden and unpredictable imposition of confinement and social isolation, cutting off or limiting opportunities for the development of cognitive abilities, peer relationships, and social skills, while exposing vulnerable children and youth to depriving, negligent, or even abusive home environments.
For this reason, this crisis has been renamed a syndemic, encompassing two different categories of disease—an infectious disease (SARS-CoV-2) and an array of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Together, these conditions cluster within specific populations following deeply-embedded patterns of inequality and vulnerability (Horton, 2020). These pre-existing fault lines of inequity, poverty, mental illness, racism, ableism, ageism create stigma and discrimination and amplify the impacts of this syndemic. And children are the most vulnerable population around the world. The impact on children is part of a cascade of consequences affecting societies at large, smaller communities, and the multigenerational family, all of which impinge on children and youth as the lowest common denominator (Di Nicola & Daly, 2020).
This exceptional set of circumstances—in response not only to the biomedical and populational health aspects but also in constructing policies for entire societies—is creating an “experimental childhood” for billions of children and youth around the world. With its commitment to the social determinants of health and mental health, notably in light of the monumental Adverse Childhood Events (ACE) studies (Felitti & Anda, 2010), social psychiatry and global mental health in partner with child and family psychiatry and allied professions must now consider their roles for the future of these “experimental children” around the world. The parameters for observing the conditions of this coronavirus-induced syndemic in the family and in society, along with recommendations for social psychiatric interventions, and prospective paediatric, psychological, and social studies will be outlined.

Client Research Report - Physical Distancing EmmaWiseman3
This document is a client research report on physical distancing conducted by Emma Wiseman. It defines physical distancing as staying 6 feet away from those outside one's household according to CDC guidelines. The report finds that while older groups are at highest risk, younger groups aged 15-22 also face risks and may not take distancing seriously due to feelings of invincibility. It aims to educate this target group on why distancing is important through sharing experiences and highlighting ways to still socialize remotely. The message objective is to promote physical distancing as necessary to stop COVID-19 spread while allowing for continued social connection.

The complex issues that define or age, Covid-19 pandemic, climate change and Brexit cause confusion amongst politicians and vice chancellors as well as the general public. I will explore some of the cognitive barriers to understanding these issues including diffuse responsibility, exponential growth, essentialist thinking, and network feedback effects. More important I will ask whether as HCI researchers and interaction designers, we can contribute towards tools and techniques to help.
Dentsu Consumer Intelligence Study - Recovery Navigator - June 2020.pdfPoppy Rodham
The document provides an overview of a weekly tracking study conducted by dentsu to understand how Australians are responding to and emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the methodology of the study, including a weekly online survey of 400 Australians aged 16+ from April to July 2020. The study aims to track changes in attitudes, behaviors, and the lasting impacts of the crisis over time. Key findings show that Australians have progressed from initial shock, to coming to grips, living in a new normal, and now moving into recovery as restrictions ease. Younger generations who were initially more concerned are now returning to life as they knew it before COVID-19.
Keeping empathy alive: New media and storytelling on disastersSanjana Hattotuwa
Keeping empathy alive: New media and storytelling on disasters looks at how the media can frame stories on disasters, and use new media to get information on them.
The document discusses communicating risk during the COVID-19 pandemic in a post-truth world. It notes that COVID-19 poses uncertain risks that are invisible until symptoms appear. This uncertainty has led to both hysteria and indifference in societies. The document examines how governments can maintain public trust while requiring profound behavior changes. It analyzes the spread of misinformation related to COVID-19 and discusses potential solutions like education, supporting quality journalism, regulating tech platforms and advertisers, as well as monitoring from intelligence agencies. The biggest challenges are addressing psychological biases, political deception, and how emotion and engagement drive the spread of misinformation on social media.
The document discusses HIV/AIDS, including how it was first detected in 1959 and has since killed over 21 million people. It spreads through bodily fluids and infected blood, initially affecting communities in West Africa before spreading globally. While treatments can now control the virus, there is still no vaccine or cure. Those living with HIV/AIDS often face stigma and discrimination. It remains a serious global epidemic.
This document provides an overview of disaster nursing and management. It begins with introducing the course objectives, which are to define key disaster-related terms and discuss concepts like disaster nursing principles, health effects of disasters, and the roles of nursing in disaster situations. It then defines different types of natural hazards and disasters like cyclones, earthquakes, floods, volcanoes and others. Specific natural disasters that commonly occur in the Philippines are also identified. The document discusses disaster risk and management, and provides examples of recent disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects. Overall, the summary introduces core concepts and terminology for understanding disaster nursing.

Community mitigation strategies such as social distancing, quarantining high-risk individuals, and limiting large gatherings are recommended to slow the spread of COVID-19. The document discusses how respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes can spread the virus and lead to superspreader events. It also notes the importance of risk factors like age, preexisting conditions, and living conditions in determining outcomes. Caution is urged as restrictions are lifted to avoid a potential second wave or peak in cases.
The coronavirus pandemic has changed life in many ways that may be permanent. It has caused societies to adapt to restrictions like social distancing, mask wearing, and virtual work and school. It has also taken a mental toll through increased anxiety, depression, and isolation. The pandemic has introduced many new words and practices around hygiene. Vaccines now offer hope for controlling the virus, but uncertainties remain around their long term effects and when societies will fully reopen.
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases pose serious threats to public health. Over the last 20 years, at least 30 new diseases have emerged which have caused 17 million deaths worldwide annually. Factors like globalization, changes in human demographics and behavior, technology and industry, microbial adaptation and evolution, and climate and weather changes have contributed to the emergence and re-emergence of diseases. Challenges include the lack of vaccines or treatments for new diseases. Coordinated global efforts are needed for disease surveillance, research, raising awareness, and strengthening public health systems and infrastructure to prevent future outbreaks.

This document consists of a collection of newspaper headlines from various decades that demonstrate how headlines have changed over time and can sometimes be misleading or humorous due to typos or wordplay. The headlines cover a wide range of topics from politics to sports to accidents and crimes. They illustrate the brevity required in historic headlines compared to modern ones and how missing or misplaced punctuation can alter a headline's meaning.

This exceptional set of circumstances—in response not only to the biomedical and populational health aspects but also in constructing policies for entire societies—is creating an “experimental childhood” for billions of children and youth around the world. With its commitment to the social determinants of health and mental health, notably in light of the monumental Adverse Childhood Events (ACE) studies (Felitti & Anda, 2010), social psychiatry and global mental health in partner with child and family psychiatry and allied professions must now consider their roles for the future of these “experimental children” around the world. The parameters for observing the conditions of this coronavirus-induced syndemic in the family and in society, along with recommendations for social psychiatric interventions, and prospective paediatric, psychological, and social studies will be outlined.

Community mitigation strategies such as social distancing, quarantining high-risk individuals, and limiting large gatherings are recommended to slow the spread of COVID-19. The document discusses how respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes can spread the virus and lead to superspreader events. It also notes the importance of risk factors like age, preexisting conditions, and living conditions in determining outcomes. Caution is urged as restrictions are lifted to avoid a potential second wave or peak in cases.
The coronavirus pandemic has changed life in many ways that may be permanent. It has caused societies to adapt to restrictions like social distancing, mask wearing, and virtual work and school. It has also taken a mental toll through increased anxiety, depression, and isolation. The pandemic has introduced many new words and practices around hygiene. Vaccines now offer hope for controlling the virus, but uncertainties remain around their long term effects and when societies will fully reopen.
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases pose serious threats to public health. Over the last 20 years, at least 30 new diseases have emerged which have caused 17 million deaths worldwide annually. Factors like globalization, changes in human demographics and behavior, technology and industry, microbial adaptation and evolution, and climate and weather changes have contributed to the emergence and re-emergence of diseases. Challenges include the lack of vaccines or treatments for new diseases. Coordinated global efforts are needed for disease surveillance, research, raising awareness, and strengthening public health systems and infrastructure to prevent future outbreaks.
Here is my last History Benchmark Project at SLA! It is a photo essay that takes different topics of globalization and pairs it with a source and something from Philadelphia. Enjoy!
This document consists of a collection of newspaper headlines from various decades that demonstrate how headlines have changed over time and can sometimes be misleading or humorous due to typos or wordplay. The headlines cover a wide range of topics from politics to sports to accidents and crimes. They illustrate the brevity required in historic headlines compared to modern ones and how missing or misplaced punctuation can alter a headline's meaning.
A presentation revised for the summer of 2002 regarding editing including dozens of examples of low-level editing (grammar, spelling, punctuation, style), mid-level editing (flow, word choice, story choice) and high-level editing (libel, ethics). By Bradley Wilson, Ph.D.
This document discusses color modes used in design, including CMYK, RGB, hexadecimal, and HSB. It provides information on when each color mode should be used and what they are used for. CMYK is used for printing and is a subtractive process. RGB is used for screens and is an additive process. Hexadecimal is a renumbering of RGB values. Additional summaries from designers recommend working in RGB and converting to CMYK for print, as RGB has a larger color gamut and files are smaller. Colors can also have symbolic meanings associated with them.
This document provides an overview of design principles for publications. It discusses concepts like consistency, contrast, modular design, grids, fonts, and color. It emphasizes creating an internal consistency within a design while also using external contrasts. Modular design encourages grouping related visual elements together in rectangular blocks. The document provides guidelines for column widths and outlines best practices for layout, headlines, images, and white space. Overall, the document is an instructional guide for designers, outlining key foundational concepts to consider for an effective publication design.
Every political election — city, local, state, national — makes for good visual coverage. Get in on the action. Take viewers where they could not ordinarily go. Get to know the politicians. Get to know the issues.
The document provides guidance for sports photographers, discussing techniques such as getting close to the action, following the rule of thirds, knowing the sport being photographed, and playing with light. It includes examples of sports photographs taken by students and professionals that demonstrate these techniques, showing athletes in action, coaches, fans reacting, and moments on the sidelines. The document concludes by providing additional resources for sports photographers to continue improving their skills.

A short presentation for the AJEMC Scholastic Division Teach-in, Aug. 5, 2020 — "Ideas That Will Help Now." 1) Make use of government images and other public domain or Creative Commons images; 2) Think outside the box with your coverage focusing on issues and people; 3) Make use of consumer-generated content.
Respondents in a 2017 Gallup poll said they have little confidence in the public schools today with only 36 percent having a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the schools. While the rising tide of mediocrity so often mentioned in educational research pushes for more funding— smaller class sizes and higher teacher salaries, this research and that of others shows money may not be the leading factor in success in a scholastic media environment. When 310 of the most successful scholastic broadcast, yearbook, newspaper and online programs were examined, the qualifications of the teachers, the location of the school and the racial diversity of the school were more likely to predict success than per pupil revenues or low student/teacher ratios.
A discussion of what makes a good tweet, some ideas for how scholastic media can use Twitter, how to schedule tweets and how to analyze success using Twitter.
The document provides an overview of Twitter, including:
- Twitter is a microblogging platform that allows users to post updates of up to 280 characters and share photos, videos, and links.
- It was originally limited to 140 characters but was expanded to 280 characters.
- Twitter sees billions of tweets sent per year and is used for spot news, general news, updates, and sharing useful information.
This article summarizes trends in high school yearbooks, including more in-depth coverage of issues beyond people and events. It discusses how yearbooks have evolved from historical records produced by senior classes to more journalistic publications with sections and themes. Modern yearbooks focus on community identity and standards while dealing with issues like decreasing sales and population changes. Experts note the importance of yearbooks as tangible mementos that can be looked at for decades to come. The article also briefly outlines trends for 2018-2019 like unique feature stories, increased color and photo quality, and attention to professional design standards.
Basic yearbook design is all based on the basic column design. Learn the fundamentals of dominance, consistency and contrast. Then modernize designs from there.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

44. after the first, mysterious case of the COVID-19 virus was
found in Wuhan, China, few gave a second thought to
how the virus could’ve impact countries, and that it
later would cause a pandemic. According to the World
Health Organization [WHO], many researchers worked
on finding a treatment or any sort of way of preventing
the outbreak. Being constantly around patients who
contracted the virus itself, Dr.Li
Wenliang (Chinese whistle-blower
doctor) caught it and eventually
died on Feb. 7, 2020 after
attempting to warm the
public of the virus.
The virus traveled to
Europe through tourists
from China, leading to the
concern of traveling in small
confined places like airplanes.
More deaths continued to
be documented, most from
elderly or people with underlying
respiratory issues. Throughout Feb.,
the virus was growing, but not at an
alarming rate, at least in the U.S. It
wasn’t until March and 90,000
cases worldwide that the
many realized how rapidly it
was spreading and began
discussing possible ways of
prevention.
After the virus spread to
North America and almost
all of Europe, the WHO
declared the COVID-19 virus
outbreak as a global pandemic
on Mar. 11, 2020. Everywhere, social
distancing was promoted by staying inside and limiting
the amount of human contact. In mid-March, schools,
restaurants, stores and other nonessential locations
began to shut down, despite economical concerns. The
WHO endorsed keeping social distance so the curve
could eventually be flattened, and life could resume as
normal, hopefully by Jul. or Aug., 2020.

I miss my friends. It
is nice to take a break
from all the rush of
school though but
the situation isn't the
best." George Bruen10
"Instead of volunteering, I ended up
having to do self-quarantine, because
of some concerns with one of my family
members possibly having had direct
contact with someone that has COVID-19.
At first I was kind of upset that it was an
overreaction and I was worried because
some of my family members work for
SXSW all year and it’s their main source of
income. Now I see that it was necessary
and that I personally know people that
would be severely affected by it."

BEGINNING with the first reported case on
Dec. 31 in China, COVID-19, or a new strain of the
Coronavirus, rapidly spread throughout the world,
with over 1.2 million cases globally and more than
54,000 deaths as of April 3. The World Health
Organization declared the virus a pandemic
on March 11. COVID-19 resulted in multiple
mandated quarantines internationally and travel
restrictions globally.
The Austin Independent School District (AISD)
canceled school at 2 a.m on March 13, the day
before spring break, after two confirmed cases of
Covid-19 were reported in the Austin area.
AISD subsequently canceled school for
students for the two weeks following spring
break, stating that classes would resume virtually
starting April 6. AISD ensured online learning
by providing students that did not already have
Chromebooks or iPads the resources to support
online learning with those services. Bowie teachers
used Blend, Zoom, and other online services to
carry out instruction.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott mandated for Texas
schools to be closed until May 4, but on April 3
AISD announced school buildings would remain
closed indefinitely and students would continue
virtual learning.
According to President Donald Trump, the virus
may be in full swing until late summer, but some
public health experts warn it could continue
through the fall or beyond, until a suitable vaccine
or treatment is developed. Photo by Grace Conlan

Like many brides, Grace

“Wejustaren’tsurewhen

Kara McIntyre remembers
the day she likely contracted
COVID-19 — she wasn’t wear-
ing a face mask.
She was at Target and be-
gan to feel dizzy. Later she
checked her temperature and
had a fever. So she got tested
for the novel coronavirus,
and a few days later her re-
sults came back positive.
The 39-year-old radio DJ
did not wear a face mask be-
fore she was infected in
March, something she said
she feels guilty about now.
“I know I came in contact
with a person who tested pos-
itive for it,” McIntyre said. “I
wasn’t going out much, but I
put gas in my car, went to the
grocery store. Knowing I
went through that and may
have gotten other people
sick, that’s terrifying.”
As the state reopens res-
taurants, shopping malls,
gyms and salons, whether or
not to wear a mask has be-
come a hot-button issue. To
some, it’s a way to signal one
has their neighbor’s health
and well-being in mind. To
others, it’s an inconvenience
or an attack on American
freedoms.
Government officials don’t
agree on the issue either. In

WASHINGTON — Business might be start-

Sales tax revenue has collapsed during

Without a cash infusion, the city will have
little choice but to lay off some of its150 em-

61. HOW COVID-19 CHANGED OUR PHOTOGRAPHY
The pandemic has accelerated a change for National Geographic, too.
As Todd James, a senior photo editor here for over 20 years, notes: “For
most of our first century of publication we would dispatch photographers
from Washington, D.C., to the far-flung corners of the Earth to tell surprising
stories.”
But this was impossible during COVID.
Instead, we intensified a move already underway in recent years, turning to
photographers around the world.They would tell the story of how this
pandemic was upending life closer to home. “It demonstrates the power of
National Geographic in our second century of publication to tell richer, more
nuanced stories,” James says.
62. Following social distancing guidelines, Moises Saman photographed
masked Syrian refugee women in the Jordanian desert space themselves apart
and in lines ahead of UNICEF donations—hygiene kits and other necessities.
Photographer Wayne Lawrence works on spending time within
communities, gaining trust.This portrait is of Elaine Fields, who had been
married to Eddie Fields for 45 years when Eddie died from COVID-19
complications in April in Detroit.African Americans have been
disproportionately hit by COVID-19, and a recent poll says 4 of 10 Black adults
say they know someone who has died of the virus, nearly double the rate for
white people.
HOW COVID-19 CHANGED OUR PHOTOGRAPHY
Nairobi-based photographer Nichole Sobecki shows how a group of
determined young dancers in the city develop a workaround when their studio
is closed for quarantine. Eugene Ochieng, 12, and his colleagues turn an
alley into a ballet floor, and their “instruction” comes from a dance coach on a
borrowed cell phone, turned horizontal and propped up on stilts.

In Belgium, Cedric Gerbehaye took pictures as a nursing home patient
recoils as he is tested for the coronavirus in Belgium. Reluctantly, a nurse in
PPE restrains the man, who doesn’t know why the test is required.

79. “As a visual journalist, you
have an excuse to ask
anyone, any question
anytime without appearing
stupid. Ask.”
Talk to alumni.
Talk to elected school board
members.
Talk to county health officials.
Talk to local first responders.
(Are any of them students?)
Consider diversity of sources by
race, classification, gender,
socio-economic status.
81. The best coverage
is local.
You can't compete with ABC News,
USAToday or even the Dallas Morning
News when it comes to overall
coverage. However, you can cover
your school and school community
better than anyone else can.And if
you don't cover your school, who will?
82. Don’t forget visual
reporting basics.
Know how to use your camera.
Understand light.
Gather caption information. Use
multiple sources. Use people, not
press releases or websites, as sources.
Press releases and websites are the
start of the research for the story, not
the end.
83. Think of innovative
angles on this story.
From the freshmen point of view.
How Asian students have felt
discrimination. How to stay healthy.
How to cut hair. Making your own
mask. How last year's seniors
adjusted to college. How teachers
adjusted to teaching online with no
training.
84. Don't be an expert on
something you're not an
expert in – such as
COVID-19.
Use authoritative sources to tell the
stories you want to tell. Some of the
best stories I saw were on local front-
line personnel: grocery store workers,
EMS professionals, firefighters,
nurses, etc.Those are your sources.
85. This is the time to learn
new ways to present the
story online.
A headline, 1,000 words, a photo and
a caption.That's cool. But, especially
online, think about audio and video
to go with the words and photos.
Think about photo galleries.Think
about maps.Think about interactive
infographics.Think about completely
new ways to present things. Have fun.
Use social media. Instagram.Twitter.
86. You’re documenting
history. If you don’t
record it, it didn’t
happen.
We don’t know if JPEGs or Instagram
or websites are going to be around in
100 years or 400. But the printed
book, it’ll be around.And the only
record of how your school and
community dealt with the pandemic,
with our evolving society, with the
environment may be your yearbook.
87. “(The yearbook) is the one
tangible thing from high
school that you can keep
with you, and look back at
when you’re older.”
Caroline Chengary, editor
2015 Prospect yearbook
“With a high school
yearbook, all you need
to look at it
are your two human eyes,
and that will stay the same
100 years from now.”
Kelvin Miller, corporate vice president,
