LeAnne Wiseman of the American Society of News Editors shared valuable resources with the teachers at Reynolds Institute today. The Demon Dispatch is a small paper with a smaller staff, so Wiseman's information on McClatchy-Tribune proved particularly helpful. For a $100 license fee, the service provides news articles, political cartoons and other content. Given the need to constantly provide new content when online, this service can help support a paper and supplement student work.
Wiseman also brought information about a partnership program that links high school papers with news outlets. This program provides $2000 to reinvigorate programs and provide new equipment. This information alone makes the Institute well worth the time investment, and we're only an hour into the first day.
