Publishing (English 294C) is designed for upper level students interested in career possibilities in writing and editing, in short, writing for money.  Students will be asked to analyze the various formats common in public relations and journalism like the public relations release, the interview, and the news story, and to write samples of each.  We will use the computer lab for an introduction to PageMaker and to HTML and Web Publishing.  In addition, we will examine the availability of jobs in the industry and study the structure of and changes in both book and magazine publishing.  The course will rely heavily on student participation and will be writing intensive.   Supplemental information on types of jobs, preparation required, and employment possibilities will be provided by guest speakers.

Publishing (294C) provides good preparation for internships in business, publishing, public relations, or journalism.  We will learn  PageMaker - some Journalism courses teach Quark - both programs are useful.  Besides Journalism courses, other useful offerings are English 242 (The English Language),  English 244  (The History of the English Language), or English 296 (Grammar).  
Students can also work at (or volunteer at) The Daily Campus, where they can gain valuable experience in editing and page layout.
