Students can design a newspaper, can attend on-campus events and can interview faculty, staff and students.

These activities describe what happens in 205 Main on Mondays and Wednesdays during common hour. Students are learning journalism in a hands-on environment and are earning credits too. If you are looking for some extra credits and have a passion for writing and journalism, COMM 001/002 Newspaper Practicum and Editing is the class for you!

For those who aren’t familiar with COMM 001/002, it is a newspaper class/club. Students can take this as a class for either 1 or 3 credits, or as a club just for fun. Your grade is based on writing, photography, editing and other contributions to creating the student newspaper, The Lion’s Eye. The bonus is it’s hands-on learning for how to become a journalist. This is a perfect way to get involved in student life.

A student is required to attend campus events of his/her choice, interview participants and report on it. There is also the chance to write about exciting TV shows, politics, sports or any other topic that could be potentially interesting, all with a PSU Brandywine audience in mind.

The class meets in 205 Main on Mondays and Wednesdays during common hour. Stop by to see what is going on and to meet the staff.
