If you're wondering what's going on at school, maybe it's time to start your own newspaper. Having your own newspaper can make your school a better place.
A newspaper can help students find out the latest news, read about issues that affect the school, and get sports results, schedules and directions to games. But before you rush off to start the presses, there are a few things you need to do.
Teamwork
First you should talk to your English teacher, who can help you plan and co-ordinate everything. Then talk to other students to see if anyone's interested.
Putting together a publication requires an army of people who can write stories, take photos, draw cartoons and design the newspaper. And if you're going to include advertisements from local businesses, you'll need someone to sell them. Anyone who wants to work for the newspaper has to be committed because there will be meetings to attend and deadlines to meet.
