The sentiment has been expressed on another departmental listserv that
students are not sufficiently aware of the importance of compiling
portfolios of clips as part of their preparation to enter the field of
journalism.

So, HCJ-Lers, some questions:

Are you aware that it really _is_ important to amass a portfolio of
clips as you work your way through courses and internships?(It_is_;
it's true.)

More to the point, what are you doing about it? What obstacles are you
finding? Where are you finding places to publish?

What experience have you had with some of the obvious venues -- The
Hunter Envoy? the WORD? The WORD in print?

Professor Buddy Stein may have some words to say about taking
advantage of New York City community weeklies, an area in which he is
deeply experienced, as editor of the Riverdale Press.

What's happening for you on this front?
