I am marveling at their seriousness of purpose and the scope, and depth of the issues they are choosing to write about. My high school newspaper, The Spotlight in Levittown, New York, shone its light on such weighty concerns as the assignment of hall lockers, the upcoming Senior Carnival and the newly formed boys\u2019 lacrosse team. I have a vague memory of contributing a scathing editorial on the unfairness of the school\u2019s \u201cno sandals\u201d dress code policy.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>I am marveling also that Ida B. Wells even&nbsp;<em>has<\/em>&nbsp;a newspaper \u2014 and journalism classes to boot. For most of the last century students at virtually every high school in the country published a newspaper.

A 2022 report from the director of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ny.chalkbeat.org\/2022\/11\/23\/23473475\/nyc-school-newspaper-study-baruch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high school journalism program at Baruch College<\/a>, City University of New York, estimated that almost three-quarters of the city\u2019s high schools did not have a student newspaper, print or online. A 2013 report in The New York Times stated that only 1 in 8 of New York\u2019s public high schools had a student newspaper; a brief responding commentary by NPR\u2019s Scott Simon referred to the student press as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2013\/06\/01\/187534165\/are-high-school-newspapers-an-endangered-species\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201can endangered species.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A legacy carried forward<\/h2>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The&nbsp;<em>why<\/em>&nbsp;is not complicated: shrinking teaching staffs, tight budgets, focus on core academics (the same reason many schools ditched art and music classes) and a laser focus on teaching to prepare students for standardized tests. Also, of course, social media and texting make it easy for students to keep up with what\u2019s going on in their schools, lessening the need for a formalized here\u2019s-what\u2019s-happening publication. And it may not be lost on today\u2019s high schoolers that, in the world outside their campuses, newspapers in general are not the most popular pursuit.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-image mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\" id=\"attachment_176008\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/niemanstoryboard.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/03\/the-mock-up1-e1687382845987-1.jpg\" alt=\"A mock-up of The Headlight.\" class=\"wp-image-176008\" style=\"width:250px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A mock-up of a print edition of The Headlight. <small>Lauren Kessler<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>But at Ida B. Wells, The Headlight is shining brighter and brighter, thanks in great part to the legacy of a beloved journalism adviser, Andrea Patton, who died last summer. To listen to the editors talk about her is to understand the power a single teacher can have on the life of a student. (When Mr. Hawkey, my hard-ass 11<sup>th<\/sup>-grade English teacher, said to me as I left his classroom that last day of school, \u201cYou are a writer,\u201d I was transformed.)<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>It also is to understand what journalism can mean to this next generation.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>\u201cShe was constantly pushing us to have difficult conversations and think deeply about the words we were writing,\u201d wrote one of the editors, Cate Latimer, in a special tribute issue to Patton produced this spring. \u201cShe challenged my understanding of journalism\u2026I was hooked.\u201d Another of the editors, Sierra Donis, wrote that she learned that \u201cwe write \u2026to \u2018shine the light of truth\u2019 on things that we hold love or concern for.\u201d Editor Meira Fiber-Munro stated simply and powerfully: \u201cShe changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>It was not lost on Patton, nor is it lost on these student journalists, that their school is named &nbsp;after the crusading investigative journalist, educator and early leader of the civil rights movement who dedicated her career to combating prejudice and violence. What had been Woodrow Wilson High School since the mid-1950s was renamed for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshistory.org\/education-resources\/biographies\/ida-b-wells-barnett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ida B. Wells<\/a>&nbsp;in early 2021 in response to community pressure after the murder of George Floyd. There is a strong sense among these students, fueled by the energy generated by Patton, that their renamed school should be home to a strong, vibrant, socially conscious newspaper.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mature stories, ethics and relationships<\/h2>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>On this day, Zoe Toperosky continues her pep talk to colleagues in the classroom-turned-newsroom.

I listen as Zoe and Meira talk to one of the reporters. They had come to her desk rather than call her over to theirs; the conversation that follows unfolds as an anti-power play that removes some of the stress from a stressful encounter. The hard truth is that the editors have decided not to run the story, a lengthy piece the reporter cares deeply about. The story in question focuses on the mental health of a particular teacher who took a self-care and therapeutic leave.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>\u201cI know that he freely gave you this story,\u201d Zoe says, keeping her voice low, leaning in. \u201cBut it feels like an invasion of privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The story exposes personal details about the teacher, she explains.

Now Zoe is in the front of the room leading a brainstorming session to generate ideas for the final page of the issue, which will be a recap of the year\u2019s progress and a shout-out to the seniors.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Meanwhile, I talk with another reporter who has written a piece about porn star Stormy Daniels and former President Donald J.
