Re: Online school newspapers

We do not have a printed newpaper any longer
We publish stories as we write them....keep it a NEWS and not an OLDS
paper:)
Yes we have....it is now a class that meets in 90 minutes periods in
conjunction with yearbook.
On-line publications are always hungry for news and unforgiving--if they
dont change they are not read for very long.
The other challenge has been that kids do not seem to want to write hard
news....
No changes with the guidelines
the wider audience is an interesting question that I do not have an answer
for.
