Joining me for the chat are Alicia Merrifield and Callie Williams, two advisers I bonded with at the Journalism Teachers Facebook Group this spring. You don't want to miss it — some of this is practical "try this!" and other parts are more head & heart reminders and cautions as we look to the months ahead in our yearbook lives. You can reach Alicia at merrifield@thevillageschool.com and Callie at Williams.Callie@brevardschools.org. Need Theme Development resources? Go back one episode in the feed to "Theme in 25," and find our resources at tinyurl.com/theme25.

    Of Pandemics and Final Deadlines

    They may be stuck at home, but yearbook staffs and editors across the country are finding creative ways to reimagine and extend coverage to include the pandemic while still working toward their final deadlines. From retrieving files via wifi while parked in the school parking to interviewing in unconventional ways to getting a laugh from an adviser's coronavirus memes on GroupMe, we hear stories from yearbook editors at The Lion (McKinney HS, Texas), Madrono (Palo Alto HS, Calif.) and the Black & Gold (Rock Canyon HS, Colo.) as they establish new routines and norms for themselves and their staffs. A big shoutout goes to these editors' advisers and ALL of you advisers out there figuring this out one day at a time! Need more coronavirus and end-of-book coverage ideas? Check these out!.

    Coronavirus: Photo 911

    It's a new world for our students and us, and the journalism can — and must — continue! I know many of you have cameras locked away in your publication labs, so I wanted to take some time to talk with one of the best photo instructors in the country to figure out how our student journalists can create opportunities for ongoing coverage as our school years continue. My conversation with Mark Murray is a long one, yes — but we talk about real, practical tips you can use with your staffs to cover life in your communities visually. From DIY at-home photo studios to iPhone apps that give you manual control to free alternatives to Photoshop, there's a LOT in this episode. You can look at some of the resources we discuss here. Check out Mark's organization, ATPI here. Find Gimp, the open-source, FREE Photoshop clone here.

    There May Be No Classes, But There Will Be Yearbook

    First up: take care of yourselves, and mind your health. I hope you and yours are ok, safe, healthy — and that you have toilet paper. What a time for a global pandemic to hit — apparently the coronavirus didn't get the memo about yearbook final deadline season! I talked with retired adviser Lori Oglesbee-Petter about how tackle the final deadline and adapt to covering our schools and communities through the school shutdowns, strategies for accommodating blank pages and maybe even creating a spring supplement, and ways to maintain routine and normalcy for our kids — and even come out stronger as a program and staff on the other side.

    Every Human Has a Story Worth Telling

    A Note from Mike: This hour-long episode contains an interview in which we get into some tough and sensitive topics, including a discussion of how yearbook and journalism students cover suicide. In this episode, I welcome master adviser Ellen Austin (The Harker School, Calif.) to the podcast for a discussion about supporting yearbook staffs in covering topics that are often perceived as sensitive, including everything from vaping to LGBTQ+ students, to how yearbooks identify transgender students and cover students who have died by suicide. We also talk about the wonderful opportunities we have to support our students' learning in student journalism, where so often they don't get it right the first time. These are topics we address regularly in our own lab at Tesserae, and I hope you find the conversation thought-provoking. For additional resources on covering suicide in student media, please take a look at this from the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma out of the Columbia Journalism School.

    Winning the Day & JEA with Sarah Nichols

    That's that tough time of the year - perhaps most loathed by yearbook advisers: January. From frustrated (and frustrating) students to seniors ready to graduate to ceaseless demands of deadlines, these weeks in the mid-winter can be the hardest of the year. With this episode, we kick off season three of the podcast and talk with veteran adviser and Journalism Education Association President Sarah Nichols (MJE), adviser of Whitney Student Media in Rocklin, Calif., about how to handle our winter woes, motivate and support our staffs, and take care of ourselves. Too, we get into all the reasons you should be a member of JEA — and trust me, there are plenty! To learn more about JEA, click here. Check out Sarah's book recommendation, The Infinite Game by Simon Sinek. Keep the conversation going with me at iteachyearbook@gmail.com— I'd love to hear from you.
