Does your local high school have a student newspaper？
Only one in eight of New York's public high schools has student newspapers - and many of those are published just a few times a year． A few more are online， which can leave out poorer schools．
Rebecca Dwarka， an 18yearold senior who works for her student paper said， "Facebook is the new way of finding out what happened． Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it， which makes a ‘whole article" sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places．"
I am not nostalgic （怀旧的） about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine． I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace， war， rock "n" roll without school officials warning us not to make jokes about the local officials． Hearing that school newspapers are in decline because students now "find out what happened" on social networking websites is a little discouraging because it proves that for millions of Americans， journalism is becoming a doityourself thing． Every citizen can be a reporter．
When something happens， we look for social media messages as soon as they flash， too． Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove， deny， pass on stories and express opinions without the press challenging， researching， or slowing the message．
But truly good journalism is a craft， not just a blog （博客） post． It requires not only seeing something carefully， but also reporting it with perspective． It uses an eye for detail to help prove a larger view． And even journalism that conveys an opinion strives （力求） to be fair． If school newspapers begin to disappear， I hope there are other ways for students to learn that．
