Teen newspaper L.A. Youth to cease printing after 25-year run

So sad. This is a quality newspaper. A Crimson Chronicle reporter did a summer internship there a couple years ago and they really worked with young writers.

Responses to New York Times Articles

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. In an attempt to save paper, I would like you post your responses to the New York Times Magazine articles here. You can still follow the format on the handout I gave you, but save it as a comment here rather than turning in a piece of paper on Jan. 7. I'm also considering some other changes to the class. Stay tuned for updates. Happy New Year!

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.
