I. Rationale
In a time of social distancing the importance of staying connected through stories, media, and news is
so appropriate. Our current global crisis has highlighted the importance of media and news in connecting
us all. I’ll be the first to admit that virtual living—and learning, for that matter—can be very impersonal,
and presents a challenge to most. But the job of student journalists is to bridge this gap between virtual life
and ‘normal’ life for students across the community. Student journalism is a pillar of school life, and with
our new-found virtual world, student journalists are those who will form the path towards online
community. Stories are the basis of life, the central connection we all have to each other, and it is through
journalism that these stories get communicated.
Let us not forget that Campus journalism helps student become more aware of what's happening
around them. They’ve learned how to become responsive and proactive citizens at a young age.
Additionally, it helps and trains students to become responsible. Student journalists are taught and trained
to practice fairness, balance, and truthfulness.
