We provide helpful tools for students interested in progressing in the field of online media and publication.

e Press

Our company is an online news network where college and high school students from all around the country can network and exchange ideas, photos, pictures and video in order to produce stories for publication on our front page as well as viable graduation items for their portfolios. Every journalism student is required to provide a portfolio before graduation. We provide an advanced portfolio building network where students can construct full and usable portfolios for their graduating semesters.

My Story: The College Press was created in 2001 out of a need to get published. I was constantly frustrated by how difficult it was to find resources willing to publish the articles required for my journalism portfolio and graduation. This frustration led me to develop my own resource for publication. With my basic knowledge of web programming, I put together an online newspaper which I called The College Press. Once TCP was launched, I was surprised by the immediate response from journalism students, journalism professors from around the world and others who simply wanted to write and see their works in print. Their eagerness to become involved inspired further site development that included journalism professors. After years of trial with specific features and comments and suggestions from site participants, the international newspaper that was created with professors and dedicated to students was ready for introduction all over the country.

The Future of Student Media. The College Press creates interest for all students and local community members to be informed of what is going on at the high school and college level via all aspects of the media industry.
