Starting a school newspaper from scratch

Wow, that’s really impressive.

Firstly, you’ll need staff to write the articles. Editors to edit, and then someone (you?) as the EiC who oversees the whole operation. Faculty mentors may also help.

You may also need some type of computer program to create the paper so it is aesthetically appealing. Also you’ll need to get printing costs covered, and make sure the distribution and readership is strong.

I can’t imagine starting the paper at my school, as it’s evolved to have a massive (sometimes unnecessary) bureaucracy, and is just a massive endeavor as a whole. I don’t recommend shooting for gold in the first year, but rather to try and just get something started with a few pages of interesting reads.

Let me know how it goes!
