High school paper goes online-only
Posted by Emily Dilling on June 8, 2009 at 6:02 AM
Bessemer City High School's newspaper has opted to publish exclusively online as a result of insufficient funding, the Gaston Gazette reported.
The North Carolina high school's students can now access their paper through the school's official site. Though online publication is in its early stages, the editors hope to produce monthly editions, and content would include news, games, and community events.

Fundraising ideas to help with the publication costs include selling
space to advertisers and sponsors, as well as the high school staple:
sales.
Though a bake sale for school funding seems outdated, the newspaper's adviser, Bessie Meeks, says the paper's various formats are "evolving," going from a four-page stapled edition, to being printed at a local press, to the introduction of the "new school" of newspaper publishing: online editions, according to the Gaston Gazette.
