About

Many teachers find themselves in the role of “newspaper adviser” by accident. Maybe they took the advising job as a way to get their foot in the door in a school district, or it was part of the deal as a first year teacher. Others take on the role as newspaper adviser because they have a background in journalism. It is their passion.

No matter how you stumbled upon the role, our goal at The High School Newsroom is to make your job easier. Let’s be honest, being a newspaper adviser is hard, and we want to make the process rewarding and manageable.

Why is being an adviser so hard? Because you need two very different skill sets to be successful as a newspaper adviser. You need to know how to teach—you probably have a degree in this. You also need to know all about journalism. Do you have a degree in journalism? Maybe.
