The
SNN Mentorship Program
SchoolNet News gives young people a forum for their ideas
and an opportunity to write in a journalistic style. Each issue
of SNN includes news stories, opinion pieces, sports, entertainment,
reviews, and research from students of all ages and from all
parts of the country.
Through the Mentorship Program, SNN pairs students with journalists,
allowing the young reporters to learn from professionals. The
process is simple:
- The mentor/journalists are assigned a number of students.
- The students write and send their stories to their mentor
via e-mail.
- The mentor reads the story, offers suggestions on how to
improve the focus and the writing, and returns it to the student.
- The story may go back and forth between the mentor and the
SNN reporter several times as the reporter re-writes the piece
or adds new information.
- Eventually, the completed stories are sent to the SNN coordinator
and published on the SNN site.
