High School Newspapers on washingtonpost.com

washingtonpost.com and the Washington Post Young Journalists Development Program are now enabling local high school journalists to put their school newspapers online, free of charge.

Our goal is to create a thriving virtual community for high school journalists and their peers, a place where students and other washingtonpost.com readers can see what schools are writing and comment on their work.

High-schoolers, with the aid of faculty advisors, use easily accessible blog software to publish articles and photos to a washingtonpost.com server. The blogs can be updated from any computer at any time, allowing student journalists the freedom to post stories outside of their traditional publication schedule.

We are launching the new feature in collaboration with three local high schools - located in D.C., Maryland and Virginia, respectively - and are actively recruiting more participants. The program is open to public and private high schools in The Post's circulation area.
