HKStories DEADLINE SCHEDULE:
NOTE ABOUT DEADLINE GROUPS: In order to manage content flow on the website as well as my own work in reviewing your work as "editor in chief," you will file your stories according to a deadline schedule. NOTE DEADLINES HAVE CHANGED DUE TO INSTRUCTOR MEDICAL LEAVE. The deadlines are spread over the course of the week with three stories due each day from Monday-Saturday. Your "group" indicates which day your story is due. This does NOT mean you are working in groups, it just means that everybody in the same "group" has their story due on the same day.

HKStories topics


NOTE:
I have divided your stories into categories which will be used to organize your stories on the website menu so that readers can find what they want to read more easily. I have also given every story a "slug" - the label it will be given in our content management system. More about this in Week 9 when we learn about the CMS. - RM
