Welcome to The MTSU Middle Stew

The MTSU Middle Stew online newspaper was created in November 2012 to give Media Writing students the opportunity to grow through experiential learning.  As emerging professionals, my students are taught to follow all of the professional aspects of journalistic writing.  They apply the rules in the Associated Press Stylebook, use the inverted pyramid structure, and write leads that answer the questions who, what, when and where.  All of these stories were researched and written by MTSU students who aspire to greatness in journalism and related fields.  We hope you enjoy them!  Please feel free to let us know what you think.  We'll be glad to pass your comments on to the reporters.
