Read It, and Rate It

The American Society of Newspaper Editors, an MTF grantee, is looking for a few good reviewers to assist its High School Journalism Initiative. ASNE has launched a new review section of its Web site (http://www.highschooljournalism.org/) for journalism teachers and students to rate books, articles, videos etc. for the classroom. The hope is that the review process will identify the resouces that can best help teachers.

Meanwhile, Kent State University's Center for Scholastic Journalism recently launched a blog to serve as a clearinghouse and discussion forum around free speech issues that impact young people. Check it out at http://csjblog.org/.
