The ASNE Partnerships Program

ASNE is seeking to establish partnerships between news organizations and individual high schools or school districts. The immediate goal is to create high school media outlets where they don't currently exist or dramatically improve existing ones. And as a result, there will be a greater influx of diverse young people who benefit from news literacy or in making journalism a career.

Partnerships are initiated by a news organization, which seeks out a school in its community to mentor.

Everyone benefits:

  • The news organization helps develop the next generation of journalists and builds a stronger tie to its community.
  • Student journalists develop their skills in English, critical thinking, writing and citizenship, along with a sense of responsibility and caring. The entire student body benefits from a free and fair campus press.
  • Teachers and administrators who are committed to scholastic journalism receive access to much needed resources and encouragement.

News organizations: This is the application for the 2009-10 school year.
