Upper School Journalism

Harker’s journalism program emphasizes cross-platform collaboration and encourages enterprise projects.

Every reporter, whether yearbook or news, produces content for Aquila’s online site throughout the year. All journalists learn to use cameras and shoot video. And all journalism students take part in creating our Humans of Harker profiles, which feature all of our seniors online, via social media, and in our end-of-year print magazine available for all students and faculty on campus.

News

Students produce an award-winning print newspaper (Winged Post) and online site (Aquila). Three time slots during the day for news journalism classes allows maximum flexibility for students’ schedules. All news classes have journalism students from all grades in them (10-12). Editors and beginning reporters meet in the same class but do differentiated work. Students are trained in news, features and opinion, photojournalism, videography, design, online publishing, illustration, data visualization and interactive graphics.
