Editing assignment due Thursday undergoes slight tweaks

Today, everyone should have received this week's editing assignment via e-mail. If you didn't, please contact me. It is a 300-word story written by students from Journalism Director's Michael Lewis Journalism 225 class. In addition to the materials, here are points that came up today as some students tackled the assignment during class:

• If you don't have the Helvetica font on your computer for the headline, feel free to use New Times Roman instead.
• You can bump the point size on the font up to 38 or down to 34.
• When making changes, feel free to use the "track changes" feature in tandem with the "comment" feature when appropriate.
• Lastly, don't forget to do Step 3. One student who already turned the assignment in didn't apparently include this aspect of the assignment.
