Advertising policy The editor-in-chief, with guidance from the adviser, shall determine if any advertisement is not acceptable. Ads for (or in reference to) illegal products or services will be rejected. Every staff member is required to visit their assigned businesses and attempt to sell ads in a professional manner. Remember: you are representing the Brownsburg Yearbook Tempo Staff and leaving a negative impression could harm our reputation permanently.
 

Before publication approval policy Stories, interviews, or photographs will not be shared with non-staff members before publication unless the reporter and/or editor-in-chief determine the need to confirm information for clarification. Interviewed subjects have no right to approve a story they appear in.
 

Class time work policy It is expected you will stay active and engaged each class period. If you have yearbook work to do, your time should be spent in class completing that work. Students should not spend time in class browsing the internet/checking personal email- doing so will result in loss of weekly participation points.
 

Conduct policy It is expected that when you are conducting publications business, you act professionally and courteously. You are not only representing yourself, but the staff, adviser, and school. You should always do your best to leave a positive impression.
 

Content-decision policy Content of student publications is determined by student editors. The adviser does not determine content. Student publications do not engage in prior review before publication.
 

Editors as leaders policy It is expected all editors will lead by example at all times during class time by working on the yearbook. It is also expected that editors will behave appropriately when representing their publication outside of the classroom.
 

Obituary policy The Tempo will pay tribute to deceased students by printing a half page senior tribute ad free of cost the year that student would have graduated.

Photographers are expected to submit a minimum of 100 high quality photos per week. All staff members are required to submit a minimum of 100 usable photos per month. If you cannot make it to one of the events you are signed up to photograph, you must find a substitute or your grade will be docked.
