All-State
Journalism
The title
"All-State Journalist" is earned by attending the South Dakota Press
Association camp in Brookings each summer.
Students attending the 5 day camp write many stories, work on editing
skills and learn layout and design. They earn ratings
and points for each assignment, and the 5 day total determines their
All-State rank. All-State Journalists are often chosen
for the Editor in Chief position. Camp applicants must take Journalism
I and be a junior or senior for the upcoming year.
Focus of the camp can be in areas of writing, layout or photography.

Students
applying for the entirely extra-curricular and very demanding position
of Editor in Chief must meet the following criteria:
senior year in high school, attend journalism camp, and complete
Journalism I and II. Applicants should be strong leaders, good
organizers and have solid writing and editing skills. Generally, there
are 1-3 Editors in Chief chosen each year. The

Production Editor, Managing Editor and Photo Editor.

Purple and
Gold Staff
The support
staff of the Watertown High School Newspaper, including staff writers,
photographers and page editors, is supplied by
the Journalism II class. Students must take Journalism I and earn an A
or B or get the teacher’s permission to be on the
staff. It is a class which is also extra-curricular in that it often
entails long hours during deadline week. Students who
are looking to improve writing skills and learn about computer design
will be well suited to choose to pursue it after
taking Journalism II. At this time, they can apply for editorial board
positions (see editorial board description).
