As student journalism changes forms to match what professional journalists are doing, what we teach our students needs to change too. As I’ve looked at the professional media and student journalism on the cutting edge, I’ve noticed a few trends which I’ve tried to summarize here. This is not meant to be an inclusive list of ways the 21st century high school journalist can or should cover events. Rather it’s meant to help create a spark in students and advisers to rethink how and why they are covering the things they do and consider whether or not they could serve their readers better.
