Bring a Newsroom
to Your School
Empower your students to become positive journalists
Imagine a group of students in your school discovering the power of journalism.
They are interviewing local heroes, reporting on community projects, writing stories that celebrate kindness and achievement, and publishing articles read by people across the country.
This is what happens when a school becomes part of The Good News Post School Newsroom Network.
Our programme helps schools create a real newsroom environment where students develop confidence, communication skills and a deeper connection to their community.
What a school newsroom looks like
Students take on the roles of:
Reporters
Interviewers
Researchers
Editors
Photographers
They learn how to:
Find positive stories in their community
Conduct interviews with confidence

Publish stories that inspire others
Every story they produce becomes part of a national movement focused on sharing good news.

A complete School Newsroom Starter Pack
Training and guidance for staff and student reporters
Editorial support and publishing opportunities

The impact on students
Students involved in the programme develop:

For many students, this is the first time they realise that their voice matters.
Apply for a newsroom
Schools can apply directly to join the programme.
In many cases, a local business sponsor will support the newsroom, strengthening links between education and the local business community.
If you would like your school to become part of the network, we would love to hear from you.
