You may have already noticed a new addition to Patagonia Regional Times—Lobos News—which first appeared in our previous issue.
The journalism class at PUHS, taught by Journee Hayes, is going to contribute student articles each month, in a special section that will replace the monthly PUHS newsletter mail-out. The arrangement will give the class a chance to be published more widely, and to learn more about the process that all writing goes through at PRT before it goes to print , while eliminating that cost from the school’s budget.
We are pleased to be a part of this venture, and to be able to showcase these young journalists’ writing and photography skills. We think their work will grow in professionalism as the year goes on, and we hope that they will do some reporting that goes beyond the boundaries of the school so you can get a youthful viewpoint on some of the town’s news (such as Exelee Budd’s article on the Fall Festival, page 14).
This is our fifth year anniversary and our first color edition, and it seems a perfect time to add this educational element to the paper as well. As always we encourage readers to write to us and let us know your views – and that includes the student work. They will like having feedback.
