How is Teen Ink different from a school newspaper?
With budget cuts and other pressures, many schools no longer have a high school paper or literary journal. Some schools have a publication that comes out “whenever possible.” In a few cases, schools maintain the tradition of a high school paper but don’t accept submissions from large numbers of students. Any teenager can submit to our magazine, not just the few fortunate to be on the staff of their school paper. While school papers are only distributed within the school community, our print magazine reaches over 300,000 teenagers every month and many more on the Web.
