Press Gang
Press Gang is an online newspaper that showcases the work of primary school students involved in The School News Project.
Student reporters learn ‘on the job’ and develop key skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and digital literacy. They conduct real interviews with school leaders and other students, they gather information from different sources, and they write, edit and fact-check. Each term they publish a new issue for the school community!
