The contemporary high school press in America has proven itself to be a formidable force. The student-run newspapers, online publications, and even broadcast news programs are delivering groundbreaking reporting and commentary that are innovative and thought-provoking. Here are some of the leading trends in the contemporary high school student press.
The emergence of digital media platforms has revolutionized the way contemporary high school students access and share news. According to research from the Pew Research Center, 92% of teens ages 13-17 go online at least once a day, with 24% saying that they are online “almost constantly.” Consequently, the student press is utilizing social media, websites, and blogging platforms like never before to broaden their reach and target various age groups. A case in point: The Knight Foundation reports that over half of all high school newspapers nationwide now have an accompanying website or online edition.
It’s evident that the contemporary high school press has not shied away from reporting on sensitive and controversial subjects, particularly issues around social justice. In recent years, students have tackled topics ranging from gun control and immigration reform to women’s rights and environmental protection. More often than not, these topics are spearheaded by young journalists from underserved communities seeking to shed light on problems and call people to action. As always in journalism circles, the best stories always come from the communities they are covering. Many of these students hope that their stories will not only inspire dialogue but also create meaningful change in some way.
Given the diverse make-up of contemporary high school students, it’s no surprise that the student press is amplifying voices that were once relegated to the margins. Students are advocating for more inclusive writing and reporting, with a growing emphasis on unbiased reporting, even when one’s own personal beliefs are on the record. The student press is being urged to promote tolerance, respect, and acceptance of difference in order to create an inclusive and dynamic learning environment. As a result, reports now reflect more varied sources, and students come together with new perspectives and ideas that break the mold.
In conclusion, the contemporary high school press is anything but stagnant – it is constantly evolving. Through a blend of traditional and digital media platforms, student press organizations in America are challenging the status quo and providing a new perspective on the world around us.
