It's a new semester

A new semester, a new group of interns, and I am excited to be part of their new experience as it unfolds over the course of the next few months.
There is so much information that Joni and I try to convey during the first class that the students seated around the table look like deer caught in the headlights by the end of our time together. I know they won't remember even half of the important points that we talked about ... but that's OK. I just need to remember to have patience, afterall this is all new to most of them.
I have added some new resource material on the class Web site under the category "story resources." Quite timely is a report about what new voters expect from election coverage.
Oh, if you're reading this, and are one of our students, I forgot one very important point:
Have fun with your internship!
I look forward to seeing you next week.
