Introducing Issuu's Student Journalism Guide

Jan 25th, 2017 by Issuu

A story can combat ignorance, humanize people, expose corruption and de-stigmatize taboo topics. With writing, photography, and design, you can capture the most hopeful of human endeavors — telling stories of strength and survival, of overcoming the most seemingly insurmountable challenges and persevering.We believe that young journalists are the future in the same way that digital publishing is. 

So we’ve created a Digital Publishing Guide for Student Journalists, which will walk you through everything from designing an editorial calendar to advertising to local businesses to reporting responsibly and defending yourself from censorship. We invite all students and educators to share and use this guide — it’s already gotten praise from Esther Wojcicki, world-renowned educator, award-winning journalist, and founder of the Palo Alto High School journalism program.
