Lakewood High School photojournalism program (37 images)

January
Photojournalists are outside the classroom looking for the right shot. Reporters are in the newsroom working on stories to put in the upcoming paper. Students in Lakewood High School’s newspaper class produce SNN, the Spartan News Network. It is a print newspaper created monthly by teens and read by teens. It is also a web site that is updated online daily. The Lakewood program is part of a larger program called Journeys in Journalism. It is in three St. Petersburg schools: Melrose Elementary, John Hopkins Middle School and Lakewood High School. In each school students apply for jobs and work as reporters, photojournalists, advertising salespeople, marketing managers, web editors and videographers. The program, which started at Lakewood in August 2009, is unique in that all of the teachers are former journalism professionals. Besides the daily newsroom class, ninth- and 10th-grade students at Lakewood also get a taste of journalism once a week through their English classes, rotating in and out of the two-room journalism suite and working on special projects.
Visit the Spartan News Network website to see more of the students' photos and videos.
