More about Press Pass NYC:
Press Pass NYC’s free programs are all in service of helping New York City public schools start and sustain a successful school newspaper program in a comprehensive way. Unlike outside-school opportunities for individual students, Press Pass NYC’s focus is on creating journalistic value and opportunities for the entire school community, enabling schools to create a culture of appreciation for journalism and student voice through a school newspaper; training teachers to lead a credit-bearing course as well as advise a school newspaper program; and engaging students in authentic, project-based, community-centered learning that they would otherwise never experience.
