Loyola students gain Loyola Student Dispatch authorship


As part of a first-year reporting class, Professor John Slania introduces his students to Loyola Student Dispatch, a site dedicated to breaking news at Loyola.
Slania introduced each student to the Wordpress platform that Dispatch uses and invited each student as an "author."
This gives them the power to upload any stories, photos or content to the site that they believe is newsworthy, but still requires an editor's approval before it gets published.
This slideshow is a look into how Slania is introducing young students to online media while giving them real-life writing and publishing experience.
