Page 2 News The Clarion | Oct. 26, 2007 Brevard represented at National College Media Convention WASHINGTON D.C.- Four students are representing Brevard College this week at the 86th annual National College Media Convention in Washington D.C. Representing Brevard College are Clarion staff writers Jacob Roland and Sarah Duncan, head photographer John Billingsly, arts and life editor Zack Harding, and faculty Advisor Dr. John Padgett. The convention, which is presented by the Associated Collegiate Press and the College Media Advisers group, hosts a wide variety of workshops that deal with various practices and trends in the modem media. Three of the students signed up for early, optional workshops which began on Wednesday. John Billingsly attended the “Digital Photography” workshop, which detailed everything from basics of digital photography to specific functions of programs such as Photoshop CS3. “It was boring,” said Billingsly, “most of the workshop was information that I already knew.” Zack Harding attended the “Coaching Writers: the 7.5 Habits of Highly Effective Journalists” workshop. “The workshop focused on narrative journalism and how to write articles that will really tell a story” Harding said, “it was interesting because there were as many faculty advisors attending the workshop as there were students.” Advisor John Padgett will be taking part in various workshops throughout the week, and also entered The Clarion into the “Best of Show” Competition. Featured speakers will include CBS executive producer Don Hewitt, and CNN political director Sam Feist. The Convention continues until Sunday the 28th and features over 100 different events, including trade fairs, roundtable discussion for focus-groups and a digital photography competition.

The college received assistance with this project by the Library of Congress AAM Program. Currently, the wireless offers unsecured internet access, but the Information Technology department has plans to expand the system in the future to include secure access to network drives such as the student O drives.
