The right decision isn\u2019t always the easy one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By\u00a0Bridget Bright<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are 15 students from four different states and 14 different cities, all from varying cultures and backgrounds, who were brought together by the allure of the written word.<\/p>\n

We have been assigned the topic of \u201cDecisions\u201d, one that we all relate to. When writing about decisions that vary from climate change to multimedia to sports medicine, we are learning about topics that have a valuable impact on our ever-changing society. <\/span><\/p>\n

That is why we have decided to call our newspaper, \u00a0<\/span>The Revolutionary<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Revolutionary is commonly described as something \u201cradically new,\u201d which pertains to us because we are the upcoming voices to this changing world, and we seek to spread the voices of all people around us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout history, revolutionaries were the people who made important changes in our nation, and that is what we are planning to do. Much of the media today has a gap in representing our generation\u2019s voice, so as young writers we want to fill that void. <\/span><\/p>\n

The decisions we make in our lives are important to us. They can bring change, security, personal understanding, and many others. <\/span><\/p>\n

Decisions are much like revolutions in the sense that the impact they have will make a lasting impression on lives. We want our voices to have that lasting impression. We want our decisions to make a positive change. We are revolutionary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips From The Pros<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhen in doubt, leave it out!\u201d
\n\u2014 Helen Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn journalism, the currency of our\u00a0trade is our ideas.\u201d
\n\u2014 Alex Kingsbury<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cArm yourself with a good tool\u00a0kit, be a good communicator and\u00a0engage people.\u201d
\n\u2014 Jason Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThree-quarters of the word \u2018news\u2019\u00a0is new.\u201d
\n\u2014 Mike Donoghue<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u2014 Michelle Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t cut someone off. When\u00a0you cut someone off, you ruin<\/p>\n

their whole mindset and train of\u00a0thought.\u201d
\n\u2014 \u00a0Milton Valencia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to be able to\u00a0emotionally attach to a story, but\u00a0detach when you head home.\u201d
\n\u2014 \u00a0Alex Kingsbury<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u2014 \u00a0Frank Phillips<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAccuracy above all. I don\u2019t care\u00a0that you\u2019re first, I care that you\u2019re\u00a0right.\u201d
\n\u2014 \u00a0Alex Kingsbury<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTake your time and assume\u00a0nothing.\u201d
\n\u2014 Linda Matchan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlways keep a pencil in the cold\u00a0winter because your pen will\u00a0freeze.\u201d
\n\u2014 \u00a0Milton Valencia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t have a good byline,\u00a0you don\u2019t have anything in\u00a0journalism.\u201d
\n\u2014 Milton Valencia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJust because you wrote it down in\u00a0your notebook doesn\u2019t mean it is\u00a0true.\u201d
\n\u2014 Leah Lamson<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should be experts in every\u00a0story you write- even if you know\u00a0nothing going in.\u201d \u2014 \u00a0Mike Carraggi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe beauty of talking to people\u00a0is the spontaneous nature of their\u00a0answers.\u201d
\n\u2014 Mike Donoghue<\/strong><\/p>\n
