Social media has changed the news publishing process, so how does it affect school news publications? Lesson nine in a 16-part series titled The Social Media Toolbox explores the traditional publishing roles through the lens of social media. Pupils read insightful articles and apply what they've learned to rearrange their own publication's staff responsibilities.
