Dr. Chad Tew is an associate professor of journalism at the University of Southern Indiana, United States. I am interested in journalism and human rights (See User boxes below).
My banner is a playful jab at my User name. Many of the User names throughout the Wikimedia projects are funny or idiosyncratic. The banner at least provides for a pronunciation of mine. I make no claim to the formal title and I have never met the Queen.
I am currently active on Misplaced Pages as a faculty member. I teach "Introduction to Mass Communications" (Fall 2012), (Spring 2012), & (Fall 2011), and I have assigned my mass communication students to write an encyclopedic article about a journalist who has been killed while on assignment. The course has been added to the Misplaced Pages Ambassadors Program listing (see below). I am also teaching Online Journalism using Wikinews as a lab. The goal is to have a positive impact on the Wikinews community through content creation, collaboration and good citizenship. The advantage for students is that they will be embedded in an online community and learn through doing.
Mass Communication Students
Adopt a journalist who has been killed while reporting or for journalism. Make sure this has been verified through one of the world press freedom organizations. Through your research, make sure the journalist has received "significant coverage" (as defined by Misplaced Pages policy) in the media.
Shortly after you create an account and establish your User page, a member of the Misplaced Pages Welcome Committee will greet you and offer you some helpful information about getting started in Misplaced Pages.
You will learn more about Misplaced Pages and our project in class. Use the resources page to learn all things Misplaced Pages! (Thanks to Cindamuse for the compilation!) A more specific guide for our purposes was written by Laura Hale, "Editing Journalists Biographies on Misplaced Pages," which is available through Wikimedia Commons.
We want to aim for quality work here on Misplaced Pages! The encyclopedia uses its own assessment guidelines and your articles will be judged by editors based on that system.
Create your article through the article wizard. Use the course template for the outline of the content when you first start your article. You will work on the article in your User space. After you have drafted the article, received feedback, and made revisions, you will submit the article for assessment through " Article for creation."
Use the tips & tricks page to learn more about specific topics. I will be adding to this page as students have more questions.
Use the course rubric and list of tips to review your peers. Write a note on their user "talk" pages and then sign it by typing four tildes (~) afterward. Tell them what you liked about their articles and use the rubric and list to make suggestions for improvement. When you make suggestions be specific and personalize it for their entry.
Online Journalism Students
Your main accounts will be on Wikinews and Wikimedia Commons, which are sister projects of Misplaced Pages in the Wikimedia Foundation family. After the creation of your User pages, a greeter from those sites will give you important starter information that will orient you to those projects.

The Newsroom is the primary site where news stories are created, edited, and discussed before publication. It is also where you can connect with other Wikinews journalists, make requests and read announcements about developments at Wikinews. Interaction with other journalists also takes place around the Water cooler. Good reporting depends on good research tools and the ongoing assessment of the reliability and veracity of your sources, and Wikinews maintains the Reference desk to connect you to sources and to assist in fact checking. If you have any other navigation issues, a good page to help you find what you need is site map.
You will be embedded in the Wikinews institution and so you will want to learn more about its mission, history, role in news production, policies, and code of ethics. The neutral point of view is the essential principle behind both Misplaced Pages and Wikinews and it should manifest itself in every aspect of your reporting, writing and professional manner.
Review the introduction to Wikinews, how to edit a page, and content guidance before you write an article. At first, you will write synthesis articles to learn how to work in the environment. Later, you will do original reporting. You will then turn to multimedia reporting when you create audio reports and write a photo essay. You should aim to submit quality work to Wikinews. Read the best stories in n:Wikinews:Featured articles, and they can provide you with solid exemplars.
The sister projects also support one another through interlinking. You can create a link from an encyclopedic article to the related news at Wikinews. Likewise Wikinews articles are linked to the encyclopedia. Other interlinks are possible, too.
After you learn more about Wikinews and the sister projects of Wikimedia Foundation, you may want to become an accredited reporter at the Wikinews and active at their support site, which is Wikinewsie.org.
