Staff Bio

Hello, I am Shelby Kelly. I am a Junior and this is my second year on the Lone Star Dispatch I am an editor and sometimes a photographer for the newspaper. I am on staff because I enjoy journalism and taking photos and just exploring more of the world through journalism. My goal is to better my skills in journalism and just to learn some new things. In my free time I like hanging out with my friends, listening to music, doodling, playing golf, messing around with musical instruments and stickers. I also really love my dogs, especially my border collie Cash, and then I have a Chihuahua named Grace that hates me but we have a mutual relationship, we call them “the beans”.  I am in choir and theater tech, and a couple clubs. I am not sure what I want to do when grow up but I am excited to figure it out.

Final Exam

The power of words:

1. What did she write?
-  She wrote that it was a beautiful day and I can't see.

Now continue watching the video.

2. How did this video make you feel inside?
- It makes me realize that I need to watch what I say  or what others say because it could change everything, this video also pulled at the hart strings.

3. Why would I show this video to you?
- You would show this video to make me realize that usually when writing stories we only have a limited amount of space and we have to put everything into those, watch what we say because it could change everything.
4. How can you "Change your words" to impact the readers of your school newspaper?
- I think I could change the words to impact my readers by really thinking about what I am going to say and how to say it so that it actually means something, so that is actually does something to the reader, leaving them with something. 

Three little pigs:

5. How many different ways did the Guardian cover the story of the three little pigs?
-  The guardian covered the story in 5 different ways. 
6. Is the story the same as you remember it as a child?
- No, there was a lot of "not child like" problems compared to the story like  not paying mortgage. There was a lot more facts to consider compared to the childhood story. 
7. Who did they interview?
- There interviews where of everyone, all opinions, and the detective. 
8. What aspects of the story did they cover?
- The aspects that they covered where that the pigs where the victim, the wolf was the victim, and because of having trouble paying mortgage everyone is the victim. 
9. Were there any aspects of the three little pigs story that were not covered?
- They didn't even focus on all three pigs to much, just at the end, and in the story all the pigs have different houses and they didn't do that, they just focused on the boiling and is it wrong or right and why it might be wrong or right. 
10. Did the Guardian ever offer their opinion of what happened, who was guilty, who was not guilty? 
- They covered both sides of the issue. 
11. Can we do this for events on our campus on a daily basis?
- Not on a daily basis, but for big news stories we probably could.
12. How can you help make this a reality?
- I could help make this a reality by digging deeper on issues and getting more opinions.

Reflection: 

13. What is the most important thing you have learned this semester being on newspaper staff?
- The most import thing I have learned is that you should interview as many people as you can and that DEADLINES are key.  I also learned that yo should actually write the story, don't write it just for quotes, have a flow don't worry about the word count to much. 

14. What can you do next semester to continue your scholastic journalism career in a fulfilling and positive way? For those of you leaving the program at the semester break, what specific problems did you have in being an active member of staff (please be specific, my sincere hope is that students don't drop this program and I want to come up with some solutions for why some people have decided to leave)?
- I need to focus on bettering my photography skills and again the more interviews the better. I also need to edit more myself before I send it off and know I know a lot more then before format wise because I took photo journalism and we didn't really focus on that. 

15. What suggestions do you have to improve any part of this class? For example, you could address editor/staff relations, editor/editor relations, staff relations with the advisor, how we can better serve our community, direct suggestions on the newspaper itself, equipment or supplies we might need, computer program instructions you need, or even stories we should cover. I am open to anything. Part of my job is to make this a positive experience, yet it is also an educational opportunity for all of you and the other part of my job is to teach you new skills. Again, for those of you leaving the program, I am looking for realistic ideas on how to improve the experience so that we do not continue to lose people.
- I like when we get to pick are own stories because www are usually more passion it about it and want to do it more but I actually liked how there was a schedule, it was a little stressing but it helped me a lot.
