I'm so glad professional organizations are taking the work of the student press so seriously: www.poynter.org/reporting-ed...

THIS is why I teach it's important not to break up adjectives from their nouns in headlines: I scanned just the first line and started to freak out.

“Brain rot” has been named 2024 Word of the Year by the Oxford University Press.

Oh, good grief! All this talk about restrooms on federal land. At the Presidio National Park in San Francisco, we simply have restrooms — totally private (and clean!) toilet stalls used by everyone. There’s a common area in the middle for handwashing. Maybe that’s what’s needed in Congress.

Educating their peers as an admirable goal of students enrolled in scholastic journalism programs. Here’s an opportunity for teachers to help reporters do a deep dive into the criminal justice system and how it affects their community.

Hey, @kgrubaugh.bsky.social Look what's making the rounds — again.

How is having a "Bible-infused curriculum" in schools not a violation of the 1st Amendment?

Hey @bsky.app — I know you’re swamped with all your new users, but it a Tweetdeck-like app in your future? Already I’m seeing the need to group and segregate posts rather than get just one long continuous feed.

Yes, high school journalists may use the the Freedom of Information Act to obtain public records. This HS senior investigated a [now former] school board president's alleged efforts to oust two district administrators. splc.org/2024/11/mich... @splc.org #scholasticjournalism

I'm reluctant to follow folks when I don't recognize their names or their handles. *Real names* instead of "AmysDad" or "BugCollectorMarla" not only gives posters' more authenticity, but it helps other users weed out the trolls — and NOT follow them. #Bluesky #bestpractices #JustSayin'

Excellent reporting by the Harvard Crimson: about 9% of Harvard students come from just 21 high schools (out of 27k total high schools in the US)

THIS is the type of journalism that high school students are producing. As @ellenjaustin.bsky.social has often said, NFL quarterbacks start their training in high school and younger; we need to start training journalists while they're young, too. scotscoop.com/studying-on-...

As I taught my journalism students at University of New Hampshire, the requirement is objectivity, not neutrality.

Moreover, every journalist should understand that reportage is just one of three dozen genres of journalism. Know your subgenre.

Third, never use a source you know to be a liar.

Yes! Your student journalists should *still* be covering the elections and localizing content for their community. www.linkedin.com/posts/tracy-...
