How To Submit A Completed Story To Annenberg Media (for USC Students)

Students in classes without assignments tied directly to the Media Center can submit completed stories for publication on USCAnnenbergMedia.com. In order for the story to be considered, students must follow the standards and practices of Annenberg Media outlined below. NOTE: Work is published at discretion of student editors; submission does not guarantee publication.

Requirements
Work that’s submitted from classes to Annenberg Media must be work that has been graded and contains edits made by the professor.
With few exceptions, each story must include AT LEAST three different sources, all of which are clearly cited and hyperlinked in the piece where appropriate (for example, if you cite another news source, link out to that source).
All stories must have all essential sides represented and have a clear and objective storyline. (There are some exceptions — for first-person or opinion pieces, for example — but most stories must follow this requirement.)
All work will be edited according to Annenberg Media’s universal style guide.

Steps
Once you have your graded assignment back from your professor and have made the changes they suggested, email co-Executive Editors Sophie Sullivan (sophiems@usc.edu) and Malcolm Caminero (caminero@usc.edu) and cc Graham at stecklei@usc.edu and mediacentereditors@gmail.com
Tell us what the work is about and why you think it would be a good addition to the Annenberg Media site or social platforms.
Attach your edited draft or include a Google Doc link and don’t forget to suggest art or an image that can illustrate your piece.
You will receive a response from the appropriate student editor. This is the person you will correspond with about your story.
If your submission is accepted, upload your story to the CMS. If you do not already have an account with Annenberg Media, an editor will help you get set up.
Once you save your story as a draft, you must tell your editor that it is there so it can be edited.
Your editor might request additional changes, even though you have already included your professor’s changes. This could include more reporting. The changes must be made in order for your story to be published.
Your editor will publish the work and let you know when it’s live. (Or you can check the #livestories Slack channel.

We look forward to seeing your stories!
