Yearbook advising: It’s not for wimps

dvising yearbooks is not for wimps. In fact, there are times I despise being a yearbook adviser.

OK, so maybe “despise” is too strong of a word.

I despise students who blame me for their lack of effort.

I despise the movie “The English Patient” (and I love the “Seinfeld” episode satirizing it).

I despise it when my wife throws away a perfectly good pair of my underwear simply because it has a few skid marks that won’t wash out.

These things I despise. So I guess I don’t despise advising yearbook. It does, however, often drive me crazy.

But why?.

Could it be the student who thinks “stupid bitch”, muttered behind her editor’s back, is a form of effective communication?

Could it be my lack of sympathy for the student who complains that she should have been named “Best Butt” in the mock elections? All of her friends tell her, after all, that

the junk in her trunk deserves its own ZIP code.

Could it be the student who, on deadline night, says his pages won’t be done because he has to pick his sister up at the airport in Marshall despite the fact that Marshall doesn’t have an airport.

Maybe he meant the Thurgood Marshall Airport in Baltimore?

Could it be the parent who sends a three page missive to the superintendent and the board of education pointing out all the spelling errors, inappropriate content and pages her AllAmerican-do-it-all-queen-of-allthings-good-and-holy-poopoodon’t-stink daughter should be on but isn’t?

Could it be the anonymous letter I received that ended this way: “When I was in school, yearbooks were fun. This yearbook seems to be about journalism, not fun. My daughter’s freshman year has been ruined by this book.”

Could it be the student who demands I give him a new book and allow him to keep his old book

because his old book has a scratch on the back cover? Or maybe it’s because he says, “I know someone scratched this book on purpose.”

As Nirvana so aptly sang, “Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you.”

Could it be the faculty member who, because she feels her activity wasn’t covered properly, says, in front of her class, to one of my students, “You guys really f----- up the yearbook this year, didn’t you?

Could it be the orchestra director who thinks he’s helping by saying, “The music boosters think the orchestra coverage in the book wasn’t good enough. They’ve offered to help put the orchestra pages together next year. When can they get started?” Would it be wrong to tell him, “The day after the orchestra starts playing in tune.”

Could it be the board of education member who throws a huge snit about how much yearbooks cost, asks for printouts Please see PRESIDENT, page 7

P THE BIG, FAT

WORD

Cut-and-paste to cure writer’s block is an easy way out for some students. MIPA advisers explain that while the Internet can have a place in journalism classes, it can too easily lead to plagiarism and copyright violation. Their advice?

Cover student press law and emphasize that all stories need a local angle.

Stet

By Jennifer Wolfin

H

olly High School publications adviser Libby Turpin put it simply when, in an interview, she said even the most trusted students are tempted to plagiarize because it offers an easy way out of a difficult story. With convenient access to the Internet from home and school, it may not take much to tempt busy or struggling students to lift photos or stories.

There is reason to be optimistic, however: several advisers have drawn distinct boundaries around what online sources are and are not acceptable to use in student publications, and they are willing to share how plagiarism and copyright violation may be avoided altogether.

Tip #1: Study student press law early on

While it can be difficult to schedule time at the beginning of the year to teach an introduction to media law, Mason High School newspaper adviser Kelly Bremer explains that it is not an optional topic.

“Student press law is a major focus on my beginning journalism class,” Bremer said. “We spend the first month of the semester looking at how the First Amendment applies to professional journalists and then we look at Tinker, Hazelwood and Fraser, and talk about how it impacts student journalism.”

Ray Hill at East Jackson High School agreed. “We usually spend the first couple of weeks of the year reviewing and discussing the basics of press law. We also discuss libel and invasion of privacy issues.”

Tip #2: Take the time to create original images

Even with the basics of press law and copyright covered, students often find themselves longing to use online images that fit well with their stories. Advisers acknowledge this, but in most cases, discourage the use of using photos and art from the Internet.

Cranbrook newspaper adviser David Watson said that if students truly want to use an online image, they have to go through the process of acquiring copyright permission. “We have actually written for permission and gotten it; for example, from The New York Times.”

Mitch Nobis, newspaper adviser at Bath High School, agreed that outside sources may be used sometimes—but as the exception rather than the rule. “Whenever possible, we use our own photos. Not only does that eliminate copyright issues, but it also increases our coverage of local school events. It’s more fun to see our students in print than some random celebrity.”

He added that original illustrations are just as important. “When a student spends the extra ten minutes to sketch President Bush instead of nabbing a photo from freep.com, it’ll look more creative anyway, which makes for a better student publication,” he said.

Other advisors say Internet images are strictly not allowed. Hill said photos found online are simply not used.

Tip #3: Localize all stories

As with photography and art, advisers say the best way to avoid plagiarized writing is to emphasize the local angle—and only if absolutely necessary, use the Internet for supporting information.

“Many times students resort to online sources when they think certain sources are unreachable,” Hill said. “However, I always tell my students to make an attempt to reach a source, whoever they are.

Rather than simply steal someone else’s quotes, my students have asked for (and received) press credentials to home games for both the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers, and have been able to work in the press box and in the locker room alongside the professional media Please see PLAGIARISM, page 7

PRESIDENT, CONT. FROM PAGE 2 of the yearbook budget going back five years to see how money is spent and then complains in writing to the superintendent that he doesn’t get a free book?

Could it be because this same man’s daughter bragged to members of my yearbook staff that she doesn’t need to order a yearbook because her dad gets one free every year, and he always gives it to her?

Could it be that I don’t give a rat’s ass if someone thinks they’re not in the book enough, doesn’t understand why the cover isn’t in the school colors, doesn’t get the theme, thinks that there’s too much writing, is upset that the homecoming coverage doesn’t take up four spreads like it used to or thinks the book costs too much (A student once asked me, “We get the newspaper for free. Why can’t we do something like this for the yearbook?”).

It could be all of these things. But

more likely it’s this. Advising a yearbook drives me crazy because people seem to forget that this is a student publication, created (and advised) by human beings with all of their inherent flaws and frailties.

They forget that the yearbook is a year-long homework assignment that, despite its errors, contains the best efforts of a group of teenagers willing to put their work in front of hundreds, maybe thousands, of people, warts and all.

They forget that when they criticize with venom and sarcasm, they destroy the pride and confidence that these teens take in the work they’ve done and that I’ve worked all year to build.

It’s people’s over reactions, egodriven complaints, disingenuous criticism and lack of empathy that drive me crazy.

That and my dwindling underwear drawer.

PLAGIARISM, CONT. FROM PAGE 3 Pantano

for their quotes. My students have also picked up the phone and called sources like former University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler, Gov. Granholm’s press secretary, musician Ted Nugent, and actor Jeff Daniels.”

He continued, “Generally, we do not take quotes from the Internet. Interviews should be done face-to-face, or at the least, done over the phone. On occasion, students writing columns will reference quotes from public figures that they’ve found online, but those quotes must originate from reputable news sources and must be attributed accordingly.

“The best way to avoid plagiarism and copyright law is to concentrate on local stories that require local sources. And if a student feels the need to quote a national figure, give them the tools to contact that person directly. I tell them, ‘you won’t know if they’ll talk to you until you try,’” Hill said.

Tip #4: Fact-check ‘til it hurts

Van Hof

Ultimately, the time-honored practice of fact-checking cannot be overlooked as a means to prevent plagiarism.

“Students are required to supply all sources with their story drafts,” said Robert Henning, Hudsonville newspaper and yearbook adviser, explaining that some form of accountability is critical. In fact, many university-level journalism classes abide by this same rule—in order to get the grade, students must turn in a list of people interviewed along with relevant contact information.

And finally: “Always double- and triple-check facts,” Nobis said. “This seems obvious, but it’s worth doing the extra double-check.”

Teri Gish Frantz, newspaper and yearbook adviser at Dowagiac Union High School, agreed. “Luckily, I have an editor who is a stickler about checking sources,” she said. “Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop all reporters from taking the easy way out by using cut-and-paste or lifting information from the Internet, but in most cases, these patchwork articles are easy to detect and pulled from publication.”

Wolfin graduated from Michigan State University earlier this month and is preparing for her one-year teaching internship that begins in the fall.

Directions: This form is your Literary Magazine entry only. If you choose to use the official postmark deadline, the fee is $20 (payable to MIPA). Staple the form below to the back of your magazine. Magazines must have been published after the spring conference this year, which was April 25, 2006.

If you choose to use the late postmark deadline, the fee is $35.

Criteria: One entry per school. A literary magazine emphasizes fiction, poetry, essays, drama, art and photography for its content. Feature articles and reviews may be included occasionally. The subject matter should be original material created by students and within their world of experience.

First-hand experiences, situations occurring to friends and family and observations within the writer’s environment are potential topics for fiction.

Jenison adviser enjoys creating future journalists

By Jennifer Wolfin Many advisers have said that the best part of being a MIPA member is the opportunity to network with others who understand the challenges of teaching journalism.

As a pre-service teacher heading into my internship, I’ve found that another benefit of MIPA is the opportunity to meet inspiring teachers who believe strongly in a free press and are passionate about their jobs. I recently caught up with Rich E. Vander Klok, language arts teacher, publications adviser and tech coordinator at Jenison High School, whose passion for teaching journalism is contagious. Vander Klok advises the newspaper, The Roar, and the yearbook, Pawmarks. This is his eighth year of teaching; his fourth year of advising.

Q: What brought you to scholastic journalism?

A: My undergrad degree from

Denison University is in English with a concentration in nonfiction writing—James Frey aside, it was the closest thing to a journalism degree Denison offered.

I interned at BusinessWeek in New York the summer between my junior and senior year, and after graduating, I interned at F&W Communications in Cincinnati, where I worked on Popular Woodworking… When I decided to get my teaching certification, I came back to Michigan to attend

10 ■ May/June 2006

Rich Vander Klok, seated, far right, poses with his newspaper staff as Kaylee Holland, a member of the yearbook staff, takes the photo.

Grand Valley State University, where I worked on layout for the campus newspaper.

Q: What keeps you in scholastic journalism?

A:

One of the most encouraging things for me is seeing my students go on to pursue journalism in college. My first editor-in-chief, Christine Holst, was just named editor-in-chief for The Chimes, Calvin College’s weekly newspaper. We were having lunch together over spring break when she got the call telling her she got the job. I have former students at Grand Valley and Western who are majoring in journalism, and one student pursuing journalism at Florida State. I stay in touch with many of the students who were on staff and they often comment that their experience with high school journalism has inspired them, encouraged them, improved their writing, increased their observation skills and increased their skepticism. The

knowledge that many of them have become passionate about a free press is inspiring. They think for themselves and that’s a great thing to see.

Q: What is going on currently in your position?

A:

We almost lost our newspaper for next year because of the awful budget problems facing our district. I had to lobby our principal to let journalism run as a one semester course… Our administration does not want to cut programs, but their options are limited by the budget. I contacted Cheryl Pell at MIPA and she solicited ideas from many sources, which she then shared with me. We are pursuing grants, endowments, partnerships— anything that can help ensure the future of our journalism program.

Q: What tips might you share with other advisers?

A: Information wants to be free.

Controversy is cheaper than a

lawsuit—don’t kill a story just because it might be controversial.

Become a member of the Student Press Law Center (SPLC) and make sure your students know about it as well.

Q: What advice would you give new journalism teachers entering the profession?

A: Don’t advise unless you want

to. Don’t advise until you’re tenured if you want to be able to do your job the right way. Try to get a building or district policy that allows students to make the decisions in school publications.

If there’s not a policy, establish a practice of allowing your students to make the decisions. Check with other advisers if you’re not sure what to do. You will not be able to predict all of the things that will upset people and everything upsets someone. Do the best that you can. Teach your students to be ethical and practice ethics yourself.

If you’re wrong, apologize; if you’re not wrong, stand your ground and call in reinforcements.
