Long Live High School Newspapers!

A resent post on Poynter.org gave a link to an article about a high school in trouble with their student produced newspaper. It's obvious that the regular newspapers in the nation are suffering, but the high school papers too?!? The local theater came up with over $6,000 to save the school paper by setting out donation cans in the theater lobby, this money will keep the paper going for another year. This story ends somewhat happy, a paper in trouble is saved by community, but what about all the others? I think it's sad the high school papers can't come up with enough money to keep themselves going; it's just another reflection of what's happening to all newspapers in the country... How are papers going to survive?!?
