Newspaper at Reynolds High School Adds Online Edition

Steve Hanf

In the Thursday, April 25, edition of the Winston-Salem Journal, reporter Arika Herron writes about some of the ways in which Steve Hanf, an English teacher at Reynolds High School who serves as the advisor for the school newspaper, has worked with students to make the newspaper more exciting.

Pine Whispers — the school’s 89-year-old newspaper — now has an online edition and is starting to digitally archive earlier editions.

“On a computer screen in Room 210 at Reynolds High School is a page from the latest edition of Pine Whispers,” Herron writes. “The computer next to it is displaying PineWhispers.com the newspaper’s online presence. On the whiteboard at the front of the room are the numbers 332, 270 and 916.

“They mark the number of Twitter followers, Facebook likes and the website’s single-day traffic record, respectively.

“I knew I wanted to do a website,” Hanf told Herron. The Twitter account and Facebook page followed.
