This session explores practical strategies to boost readership within the school community by building relationships with the administration and teachers. Through case studies like Flyover Fridays, where every student must read or watch content during homeroom, the speaker will share proven approaches to increase engagement primarily for online newspapers. Participants will also learn story components, like visuals or fun page items, that keep the audience hooked. This session is designed for schools that already have or will have homeroom, advisory or DEAR time.
