About

MISSION STATEMENT

The WA-Hi Journal is a student created, student-run journalism program which provides the Walla Walla High School community with accurate, informative articles and media while practicing the components of a professional newspaper. The staff aims to create an informative newspaper and website which focus on issues important to our high school community.

EDITORIAL POLICY

The WA-Hi Journal is a forum for student work and the editorial board makes final decisions regarding publication. The editorial board’s responsibility is not only to present one viewpoint, but to reveal multiple perspectives. The views represented in the WA-Hi Journal or in online publications do not necessarily represent the views of the entire staff, the school, or the administration as a whole.

ONLINE PHILOSOPHY

As modern professional journalism changes, so should student journalism at the high school and college level. By moving publication of the WA-Hi Journal online, students will be able to publish articles in a timely fashion and combine them with media to more effectively cover the events of Walla Walla High School. We hope to increase our interaction with the Walla Walla community and give students experience with the tools of 21st century journalism.
