That is why, more and more often, schools began to publish their own newspapers, where students are informed about all the interesting events that have taken place or will take place in their native land. What is a school newspaper, what is its main goal and what information should be displayed there - I want to talk about all this now.
The main thing about the school newspaper
At the very beginning, you need to consider the main rules for creating a school newspaper. So what do you need to know and remember?
- The school newspaper doesn't have to be big. However, do not consist of two sheets. Its volume should be such that it contains a sufficient amount of useful information, but there is not much superfluous information.

Components
What must be included in a school newspaper? So, this edition must include:
- Latest news. They are usually printed on the front page. Here you can inform the children about everything important that happened during the period until the newspaper was published.
- Ads. You also need to tell the guys about what events will be held in the near future. Both at the school level and at the community level.
- News of education. Be sure to also publish something interesting from the field of education. Innovations, new projects, plans that will directly affect students.
- Creativity page. You should also set aside a small place where children can publish their “pen tests”. It can be poems, essays or stories of schoolchildren.
- Funny moments. And, of course, the school newspaper should cheer you up. There is no lack of humor here. So, these can be harmless jokes, but there can also be caricatures or pictures that should teach something useful or ridicule negative qualities.
A few words about publications
It is also important to note that an article in the school newspaper should be submitted by people who know how to beautifully and concisely present the text. So, it can be students of the same school who manage to write various kinds of informative materials without any problems. At the same time, it is worth remembering that any note in the school newspaper should not be too large and voluminous. Few people will read such work. It is important for children to get all the useful information as soon as possible. Therefore, all publications should be as concise as possible, without unnecessary words and the so-called "water". It is also worth remembering that many materials can be illustrated with photographs or just pictures. This will grab the attention of most children and make them read the written text.
Nowadays, the mass media have a serious impact on the life of the younger generation. How to help a child not to get lost in such a stream? The school newspaper will be an excellent option for mastering the child's skills and information work skills.
Significance
The creation of a school newspaper is a responsible event, involvement in which allows you to develop communication skills and teamwork. In addition, such an activity is an excellent means of education, a good incentive to increase interest in the educational process. How is a school newspaper created? Schools try with its help to inform children and their parents about the most interesting events taking place in the life of an educational institution.
Work on regular news releases is connected with the direct participation of schoolchildren in various social events, consideration of serious social problems, and the expression of their own point of view about the events taking place in the school.
Periodical printed edition
The school newspaper is a periodical that publishes materials on all current events. The issue volume ranges from 2 to 50 pages. Unlike other periodicals, the school newspaper can be published once a week, a month or a quarter. Different styles and genres in its design are acceptable. Most of the space should be allocated to journalistic works and operational information. For example, interviews, essays are popular, in which there is a story about teachers, the best students of an educational institution.
The school newspaper is a great start for future poets and writers, correspondents. Such materials can be dedicated to a public holiday or an interesting event organized in a particular educational institution.
Newspaper classification
They are usually divided according to the frequency of release into daily, weekly, monthly options. For the school, the monthly option is considered optimal.
Depending on the scale of readers and the area of distribution, newspapers are divided into regional, district, local, large-circulation, nationwide. Within the framework of an educational institution, a local version is expected to be released
By the nature of the issue, such a publication is a mixture of entertainment, commercial, and advertising. The founder of the school newspaper is an educational institution, so the target audience will be schoolchildren, teachers, parents of students.
The hallmark of any publication is its title. It should be bright, memorable, unusual. For example, the school edition can be called:
- "For you and for friends."
- "School BOOM".
- "Our Friendly Family"
- "The Planet of Our Friendship".
In order to come up with a name for the newspaper, you can announce a competition at school.
Finally
Ancient handwritten books became the prototype of the modern newspaper. Julius Caesar published the Acts of the Senate, and in 911, Jin Bao appeared in China. A lot of time has passed since those distant times, but the newspaper has not lost its relevance and relevance among readers.
In a school life filled with bright and interesting events, a printed edition is an excellent way to systematize all events. Currently, young publicists and poets, photographers successfully publish their printed editions in almost all Russian schools.
Quite often, children are engaged in issues of the school newspaper as part of additional education. For example, a school of young journalists is being created in an educational institution, whose duties include thinking through the layout, content, as well as the direct release of the school print edition.
