Interview Protocol: Secure Permission, Do Your Thing
As of Monday, November 9, 2009, students need to obtain permission to interview/photograph during class time. This means you must email the teacher AND receive permission before you conduct an interview, photo opp., or conduct journalism business. Please do not just randomly show up and ask for a source during class time or expect to do something if you have not gone through the proper channels in advance.
If sources are non-class related, reporters may conduct their business as they always have. Examples would be the following: main office, athletic office, cafeteria, guidance office.
