In 2009, major print publications are collapsing and online media are thriving. Many conventional newspapers are struggling to present their content in a way that Internet viewers embrace. In contrast, Wayland Student Press Network (WSPN), a new Web-based high school publication, is preparing for the next generation of students who were born when the Internet was already a household word.

While taking advantage of today’s Web 2.0 technologies, we are regarding multimedia content as important as textual content, along with using humor and human interest connection to appeal to a broader range of students. One of our goals is to encourage other high school newspapers to be Web-based, dynamic and interactive, producing Web-friendly content such as short video clips, photo slideshows, blog posts, news snippets, and much more.

WSPN is an award-winning online high school publication that uploads diverse types of content first and only on the Web. Please explore our online network to see how we intend to popularize the medium with the Web generation.
