School newspapers

Came across this web site for a "high school" newspaper and was impressed by the design and content.

How's yours match up?

At the college level, I think the Daily Cal does a fairer job at reporting local news --

my HS's online publication. when i was there, we were just starting to publish online. it was pretty well-respected (yup, award-winning) and most of us who were on the staff practically lived in that room (and the dark room, for photographers) at all hours of the day, sometimes pulling all-nighters to finish.

gosh i feel so old now.

[deez nuts]

i don't know too much about my high school newspaper and my college newspaper other than the two papers share the same name.

oh and none of it was online when i was there. the internet was still in the primordial stages when i was in college.

the daily bruin newspaper is full of neo-conservatives who think they're liberal.

No, I was talking about The Berkeley Daily Planet (http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/) :smile:

hey! i'm working for them now, advertising account exec.

so far it's been real fun. we're a completely independent student-run paper, so the atmosphere is super chill. best part-time job i've ever had.

Ithaca High newspaper battles censorship (http://www.ithaca.edu/ithacan/articles/0503/03/news/7ithaca_hi.htm)

The censorship of a cartoon in the February edition of Ithaca High School’s student newspaper, the Tattler, has incited debate regarding First Amendment rights.

“The district says the Tattler’s function is to teach students about journalism,” Ochshorn said. “We are saying the function is to provide an outlet for student expression.”
