What Is a School Newspaper?
Writing a school newspaper or media project offers a concrete experience of editorial work. It involves researching information, writing articles, designing layouts, and working as a team. Students become active participants in their school’s communication while discovering the basics of journalism.
This project also highlights collective work and strengthens cohesion between classes. The articles, photos, and illustrations published in the newspaper become a reflection of the students creativity and diversity.
The high school newspaper or elementary school newspaper encourages reading, critical thinking, and communication between students, teachers, and families. It creates a lasting connection between the school and its educational community, while leaving a tangible record of the school year.
The school newspaper is a formative and inspiring medium that sparks curiosity, builds independence, and gives meaning to learning.

Steps
Creating a school newspaper is easier than it seems.
Creating a school newspaper is a rewarding project that blends learning, creativity, and collaboration. Here are the 7 key steps to guide your students in producing a motivating and meaningful school publication.
Here are the 7 essential steps to create your school's newspaper.
1. Define your audience
Before getting started, it is important to know who your newspaper is for: students of the school, parents, teachers, or external partners. This reflection helps you choose the tone, writing style, and topics to cover.
2. Create an editorial team
Build a team of volunteer students guided by one or more teachers. Each student can take on a specific role: writer, photographer, illustrator, layout designer, or proofreader. It is an excellent way to develop independence and teamwork.
3. Choose your sections
Decide on the main sections of your school newspaper: school news, class life, educational projects, culture, sports, environment, profiles, or interviews.
These sections give structure to the publication and allow each student to contribute according to their interests.
4. Write and illustrate the articles
Writing is at the heart of the project. Students learn to express their ideas, verify their sources, and write for an audience.
The articles can be accompanied by photos, drawings, or illustrations to make the content lively and engaging.
5. Design the layout and proofread
Once the articles are written, it is time for layout.
Use our free templates on Canva or InDesign to easily obtain a professional result.
Then proofread everything to correct mistakes, harmonize styles, and polish the presentation.

Step 6 - Distribute to Your Audience
Your high school or elementary school newspaper comes to life through printing.
We print your copies using digital printing, in color and on high quality paper, for a result that is as enjoyable to read as it is to keep.
Each copy becomes a tangible and meaningful object, symbolizing the students collective work.
7. Share and promote the project
Distribute your school publication in the school, during events, or make it available on the school's website.
Encourage reading, gather reactions, and highlight the students work by displaying their creations.
A printed school newspaper leaves a lasting trace and motivates future classes to continue the editorial adventure.
