I took over our school newspaper at the beginning of this year. The school issued me one computer for 100 students in 4 classes to make the program a success. In the past two years, our school has issued 3 newspapers. That's only 3 papers for two entire school years. Where I grew up we called that a yearbook, not a newspaper!
Then I asked to run the program.
I have 100 students (4 classes), and we have, as of this writing, published 3 editions in the first 6 weeks of school. We have made great progress, but our school newspaper program is in need of one item that would really help us improve our paper's quality immeasurably.
We need a digital camera!
If we had a digital camera, students could visually document school functions such as sporting events (try to imagine a newspaper with an article about the homecoming game without any pictures), dances, and other events such as guest speakers, etc. Won't you please help? It seems like such a small thing, but a digital camera would make all the difference in the world to my students. My students who run the school newspaper need a digital camera. HIDELive Updates
