Velvet Purses from Sows' Ears

Abstract

In preparing the text of this senior individualized project, I found great difficulty in knowing exactly what to include. Writing for the English Department, I at first believed I should shelve the political, legislative information and include only those experiences and impressions concerning the production of the various communications. The senior individualized project, however, is designed to be a culmination of the student's career and academic interests at Kalamazoo College. Working at IBA, I was able to combine my academic interest in political structure and organization with the actual, journalistic, technical and mechanical work of producing communications. I tried to treat both facets of my internship fairly in this paper; I hope I succeeded.
