The big idea
School newspapers are great experience. AI helps with story ideas, headlines, writing tighter, and even design ideas for layouts.
Some examples
- 'Help me brainstorm 10 story ideas for our school newspaper.'
- 'Write 3 catchy headlines for this story I wrote [paste].'
- 'Suggest 5 photo captions for our football team's win.'
- 'Help me write a fair, balanced article about [school topic].'
Try it!
Practice this safely
Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about school newspaper, not to let it make the decision for you.
- 1Ask AI to explain school newspaper in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "Use AI to Help Run Your School Newspaper" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check journalism against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
