Success is... Showcasing Our Students' Writing Talents

        SMYRNA – “Extra, Extra… Read all about it!” Students in Motlow Smyrna’s Survey of New Media and Media Writing classes were busy writing stories and blog articles last semester. We used The Motlow Buzz as an educational platform to help prepare them for real jobs. 

          "My students had the opportunity to do what the pros do -- cover events, conduct interviews, and write and edit articles," said Mass Comm Instructor Charles Whiting. "We hope these High Impact Practices at Motlow will help open doors for life-changing career opportunities."

Motlow New Media Students Contribute Articles to The Motlow Buzz

By Charles Whiting

Motlow Buzz Editor-in-Chief

         SMYRNA -- Each semester, students of Motlow Smyrna's Survey of New Media and Media Writing classes write blog articles and news stories for The Motlow Buzz.

         Started as a classroom project in 2014, the e-newspaper has grown into a major campus publication that gives Communication majors and others the opportunity to experience the real world of mass media. It also helps build the Motlow community of students, faculty, administrators and staff. Students such as Motlow Buzz Student News Editor Anthony Czelusniak and contributing writers Emma Sagor, Mary Kate Brown, and Logan Langlois have written articles for The Buzz after completing their classes in Mass Communication. 

         Following are articles penned by members of the Survey of New Media class. (Note: We will spotlight our Media Writing students in a future issue.)
