Meeting Reminder

Hello. Just a reminder about your meeting brief - due by the midterm. Below is information from the class handout given out three weeks ago:

Meeting Preview/Brief:
You are expected to cover at least one school board or city council meeting. (It is in your best interest to attend both.)

For the meeting for which you are responsible, you will file a brief due by email me at voss.kimberly@gmail.com as a Microsoft Word file attachment within two hours of the end of the meeting. Clearly identify yourself in the email and the subject line. Name stories appropriately in the subject line (e.g., “Winter Park City Council Brief”). The time stamp on the email will verify that you met your deadline.

Your meeting brief (up to 6 paragraphs on the most important action/decision) should be detailed and complete. Be sure to include the full names of council or commission members and citizens who speak at meetings. Remember, your coverage of the meeting will not always end when the meeting adjourns. You may have to ask council members or speakers questions after the meeting or gather additional information. Turn in the agenda during the next class period.
