About This Class

This course is designed for those students who desire experience in print journalism and an in-depth production of a newspaper. Students have the unique opportunity to create and publish a student-driven newspaper. Newspaper students practice the fundamentals of journalistic writing, photojournalism, graphic design and budget management. Students will also develop their abilities to work as a team as they produce the newspaper.
Researchers have found that both college and non-college-bound students benefit from taking journalism in high school. A study of college freshmen found that journalism experience correlated with higher efficacy in a beginning English class (Collins and Bissell, 2002). Even teachers report less burnout and higher job satisfaction from advising the school newspaper or broadcast class, according to a study by Reinardy, Maksl and Filak (2009). Numerous studies by Dvorak and his associates have shown a correlation between journalism students and higher test scores on college readiness tests and in higher grades in high school classes.
