Novek, Eleanor M.

Journal of Children and Poverty, v1 n1 p101-23 Win 1995

Describes how community journalism enhanced the self-determination of at-risk black students at a U.S. inner-city high school. The author outlines the intervention's methods, offers a brief analysis of its written outcomes, and discusses some of its relational dynamics. Evidence is offered supporting community journalism's value as an empowerment strategy for at-risk youth. (GR)
