My journalism students are sophomores, juniors and seniors at a public high school in California, and they produce an online student newspaper in an era of little funding and massive changes in the professional media. They write, photograph and produce video for students, staff, parents and their larger community. This year their publication has been honored as All-American by the National Scholastic Press Association, a great accomplishment since it's only its second year in existence! The videos they create with their single Flip camera range from serious to funny, capturing life at high school and out in the community. They are one of the most popular features on the website.
