School Newspaper

In this digital age, a printed school newspaper may seem outdated and irrelevant, as students prefer to get their news through phones and social media. However, a school newspaper has several advantages, and it can greatly benefit students and the school if it is published regularly.
Students need the freedom to express themselves in a manner that is respectful, responsible, and acceptable. Writing for the school newspaper gives them the opportunity to voice their thoughts and opinions about relevant matters. Also, a school newspaper allows teachers to monitor the content to ensure that no inappropriate or wrong information is being spread through it.
A school newspaper also lets students explore their creative sides. Students who like to write stories and articles can share their ideas through the paper. Students who like editing and designing can help make the newspaper more attractive and entertaining. Students who love photography can take pictures around the school and get them printed in the newspaper.
For all these reasons, schools should publish their own newspapers because it not only helps spread educational and interesting news, it can also create a sense of unity among the school students.
