LA Youth was a newspaper by and about Los Angeles teens, published monthly from January 1988 to January 2013, and was distributed to more than 1,400 Los Angeles county public/private schools, libraries, and youth organizations.
[1] High school teenagers (grades 9–12) were the group of journalists, known as staff writers, who work on each monthly publication.
The meeting consisted of each writer/student presenting himself/herself to the rest of the students, such as what school he/she went to, what he liked to do for fun, and where he was planning to attend college.
After student presentations at the meeting, the adult staff took over by asking if current articles have been revised or finished.
Even sharing an issue could give another staff writer an idea to write an article.
