Oakton Offers Summer Journalism Course
Learn the ropes of newspaper publishing by enrolling in a special seven-week course this summer at Oakton Community College.
Introduction to Journalism (EGL 150-701) gives students a "hands-on" experience in publishing the OCCurrence, Oakton's award winning student newspaper. Under the supervision of faculty advisor and award-winning journalist Dennis Polkow, students will be involved with all aspects of the publication, including planning, writing, editing, photography, art direction, layout, production, and Web design. Layout sessions include free pizza and guest speakers.
"This course will give students the opportunity to spend a summer learning the ins and outs of journalism, especially how addictive it is to see your name in print," says Polkow.
Introduction to Journalism meets 1:30 - 4:45 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting June 14, at Oakton's Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road. Independent study credit for working on the OCCurrence also is available.
The OCCurrence received nine state awards and two national awards for excellence April 14-15 at the Illinois Community College Journalism Association Spring Conference.
For more information, contact the OCCurrence at 847-635-1678.
