Frequently Asked Questions
Who attends Publication Workshop and what is its purpose?
Both large and small school (elementary and high school) publication staff interested in learning practical cutting-edge information on how to plan and execute effective school publications. The workshop was established in 1990 as the Pacific Union's leadership event for all students involved in school publications.
What is the format of the Publication Workshop?
The workshop presentations are for the following school publication roles: editor, designer, photographer, writer and video production. A detailed schedule and description of the presentations (50 minutes each or two-hour double-sessions) will be available on the workshop website a few months before the workshop. Students (with input from their school adviser) select the sessions they will attend based on their role(s) as school publication staff.
Is it just for schools who publish yearbooks?
The workshop features three different publication mediums: yearbooks, newspapers and video yearbooks. Schools who want to start their publication's year in a focused way found the workshop to be an invaluable tool for gathering ideas, practical hands-on training with publication software and networking with other schools with similar school publication parameters.
