An activity that was intended to be a small cut paste endeavor turned into a full blown newspaper making journey, with me and my teammates toiling hard to come up with creative names, ideas and articles.
I had always read newspapers but this activity allowed me to actually focus on every section and analyze its importance in the newspaper. I learned how important formatting was to a newspaper and how altering small things in its sequence could entirely change the reading experience. I also realized how every section of the newspaper is essential, whether it be national news, editorials or the entertainment section. Without any one of these sections, the newspaper can feel like it’s lacking an ingredient. I also understood the importance of creativity and identity in the wider news ecosystem. Creativity is an often overlooked element that can help a newspaper stand out from the rest. Most importantly I learned the importance of teamwork. Each team member had their own unique inputs and it was an incredibly fun experience incorporating everyone’s ideas.
