WAVERLEY:<\/strong> On Friday, June 14, the children in Mrs.Trider\u2019s class at Waverley Memorial Elementary School were delighted to see Pat Healey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr.\n Healey is the writer from The Laker and The Weekly Press. He came in to\n teach Mrs. Trider\u2019s class about journalism. \u201cHe helped me out because \nhe told me \u2026 I was able to take out people\u2019s ums to make it sound like \nthey are speaking fluent English.\u201d Tarin Maclennan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Sherwood learned that Pat \u201c\u2026 makes the Laker with his editor and he has to be everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just two of us doing the paper,\u201d Mr. Healey explained. A reporter sometimes has to finish an article in a day! This is very hard work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Healey brings a voice recorder and a camera around to events. Some people are afraid of the voice recorder so Mr. Healey asks if it\u2019s okay if he puts it aside and continues to record. Mr Healey uses the voice recorder to make sure the quotes are correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporters try to go \nto a lot of events for stories. \u201cI like the good news stories. If I \ncan\u2019t get to the event, people \u2026 can send it to me.\u201d Mr. Healey said. \nRory Fox learned \u201cit\u2019s fun to be a writer and you get to go to different\n events.\u201d Geneva, Rory\u2019s classmate, said, \u201cI would actually focus on \ngood stories and bad stories because I find everything is important to \nknow.\u201d Another student, Eugene Legge, has family in New Brunswick that \nrun a paper called The Hampton Today. Hampton today is \u201c\u2026 a community \npaper\u2026 to tell people what\u2019s going on.\u201d Eugene said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c(When writing the story) I try to get an interesting or exciting lead.\u201d Mr. Healey explained. The reason is to intrigue people into reading the article. If there is an interesting or exciting lead the reader is less likely to skip the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how this newspaper was made. \nMr. Healey writes the articles, his editor edits all his work, the \npublisher formats the look of the paper, it gets printed, and delivered \nto your door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pat Healey also delivers the Laker to stores and they usually run out of them quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs. Trider\u2019s class learned a lot from about journalism Pat Healey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
