Journalist Shares is Advice with Students

On Thursday, October 21, Dan MacAlpine, the Editor of the Ipswich Chronicle, came to speak with the journalism class at Gordon College. He offered some advice to students looking to have a career in the field. He made 10 suggestions including use active verbs, summarize and then expand, and don't be afraid to use bullet points.
