10 One staff covers both print and online publications. As students finish content it is posted online. Some material online does not make it to the print issue, and the online issue has things like multiple photos, audio or video that the print issue won't have. Allow me to ask you, why would you want two staffs to cover essentially the same things?11 All student media members contribute to web with beat stories or multimedia pieces. There is a team of 5 web staffers running the site. They communicate via Gmail and GDocs.12 Yes. The staff members must write one online story per month in addition to their print assignments.13 Yes, same staff but with a dedicated on-line editor14 We just started an online paper so this year it is the same staff, but starting next year, it will be 2 separate staffs.

We have an Online Managing Editor who reports to the Editor in Chief. All staff members are required to write monthly for both the print and online publications. 23 Newspaper staff does both publications. We put news online as soon as we can, reserving larger feature stories for print. We have made our newspaper more features and only timely news rather than "old news," which is what it contained prior to the online paper. After the print edition comes out, we post some of those articles online as well.24 Yes, they work together on both publications. We are considering separating them next year because we will have the number of students to do that easily.25 yes27 They are the same staff. Students are assigned stories for our website much the same way are for the newspaper. We also have beats so that certain things always get covered. 28 We don't have separate staffs29 I have kids from the video side in the online class. Kids from both classes build web pages.30 yes - same class, 16 students They are on a rotating three-week cycle for their online story reporting, editing, posting and then the print issue stuff is separate.

Because it is a 24-7 entity, staff members have access at all times to update stories, photos, blogs, comments. Unless there is a print emergency, the maintenance time for the .com is sacred and uniterrupted. 38 Yes, they work on both print and online. They are busy... I'm not sure that it's ideal. I would love to have two separate staffs but I don't have the numbers. However, it is nice that they can practice true convergence because some do broadcast as well. 39 Yes, but I plan to separate them next year.41 Yes, our district is on a new-class freeze, so we must have both staffs in one class. In fact, once we're live, all journalism courses will be contributors to the site, but edited by the NP students -- everything from video tech, video production, Journalism I, photo-journalism, yearbook to newspaper.42 Yes, we have one newspaper staff.

The same staff, the same set up. We just have one or two who are responsible for transferring the content up online.60 N/A; No online contributors61 Yes, they are part of the same staff. We are just beginning our Web site this year, so we do not have a separate online staff (nor do we have enough students to make that happen). Instead we have an online editor and a couple devoted staff writers who work with the editor.

62 Yes. We have a two day lag time between the time we go to press and we receive the printed paper. Once the paper goes to press, the students then upload all the material to two websites, one with ASNE and the other of our own making. We also upload a pdf version of the paper, as well as, individual articles.63 They are currently. In the past, when I've had editors and writers in different classes I've asked them to use a staff mailbox, leave notes on the board and/or e-mail each other and CC me so I am aware of the communications.64 Yes, same class. This year, I've encouraged students to write for the web, or to shovel stories from MCT Campus onto the web. Next year, I've recruited 3 students who specifically will devote time to keeping the website "live." They will be integrated into my traditional newspaper class.
