I used my high school clippings as a reference for my first job at a daily newspaper. So this is not a game-the school newspaper serves students in their future lives. Let's help them. My experience is that from the highest newspaper or television network to the smallest student paper, the goal is the same and it is enshrined in the Constitution-that information, ALL information is good, the more we know, the better citizens we are. There's no doubt that schools need to be protected from violence, to be halls of civility and learning.
School newspapers are part of the process.
They inform students and teachers and provide open knowledge-so that they can react and make decisions. Participation is what we want. This page updated June 15, 1998.
