The South Aiken Journalism class creates and runs The Secretariat school newsletter.

This course introduces students to basic reporting and newswriting skills, including interviewing, researching, and maintaining accuracy. It requires both in-class and out-of-classroom reporting and writing assignments. In this course, students will study the principles and practices of journalism as well as journalism's role and impact in a democratic society. Class discussions will address the historical development and future of the field, including new technologies and changing strategies. Techniques, methods, and models guiding the contemporary practice of journalism will be given particular emphasis.
