Good morning newsies,
As a high-school journalist, one often has the luxury of looser deadlines than one would come across in the adult journalism world. This is not to say that our writing is easy and high-school journalists are never stressed, just that the deadline is less do or die. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that each and every one of us has come into contact with a really tough deadline in our experience, if not just in this camp alone. Turning out three stories in two or three days certainly sounds like a formidable task, and in ways it definitely is. We seem to have been (and still are) constantly stressed about getting interviews and finding sources, but now the stress is paying off. By the end of the day today, all of us will be finished with at least one story (most of us more!) that we can vouch for and have completed. While deadlines, especially tough ones, add a variable of stress to the job, they're a lot easier to deal with once you see all of your hard work pay off.
