About the Project

Journalism was created by a group of passionate students who believed that information is an essential component to a thriving community. Many political scientists say the media is the fourth branch of our democracy and without it we would have little access to what is happening in the world around us. Without this knowledge we would not be able to participate in politics which would essentially leave “we the people” out of the equation. For a school to be inclusive, responsive, and evolving students need to discuss and interact as a collective with the news that matters in their daily lives so they can participate and inspire change. This project will allow our students to create a club that delivers this space for our community. Students will work collaboratively to deliver a safe space for student empowerment as they print a newspaper to engage with the community and give access to our diverse readership.
