The American Society of News Editors is pleased to sponsor the publication of the Principal’s Guide to Scholastic Journalism through its Youth Journalism Initiative. The book’s latest revisions offer a comprehensive look at how administrators can support exemplary scholastic journalism.

Supporting the development of strong student journalism programs at the secondary school level has never been more important.

Scholastic journalism programs help students learn news literacy skills while providing a valuable service to their school community. The future of our communities and the future of our democracy depend on news literate citizens and well-trained journalists. The Principal’s Guide to Scholastic Journalism is a valuable resource in this endeavor.

Student publications foster community and encourage public debate on issues that matter to students. ASNE encourages students to aspire to journalistic excellence and the highest journalistic standards.
