Throughout the years, the newspapers has patterned itself after a professional publication. Today it varies in length from 16 to 20 pages, is computer-generated, is printed on tabloid size newsprint, and is published 12 to 13 times per school year. The Journalism Seminar classes are responsible for publishing the student-run newspaper, The Voyager. Co-positions are determined as needed. The newspaper is not published merely as a product of the Journalism Seminar classes.
Students work long hours after school interviewing and researching.
They individually give as much time to the newspaper as many students give to a sport or a club. The product reaches outside the classroom and school walls and into the community. Awards The Voyager is affiliated with Quill and Scroll, Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Northern Illinois Scholastic Press Association, and National Scholastic Press Association.
