If your digital news site doesn’t already include contributing columns and podcasts, this session will put you on the path to do so. Starting with a presentation on the difference between columns and other opinion writing, this session will explore different options for student podcasts and explain the system successfully implemented at the Archer School for Girls' Oracle, where trained editors oversee out-of-class columnists and podcasters. Done well, outside contributors can diversify your site and amplify unheard voices on campus.
