The National Edition is a weekly collection of stories from around the nation.

They were written by young journalists using ASNE's publishing tool to post their school newspapers online.

We choose stories based on their quality and appeal to a broad teen readership.

These selections represent stories that were the most interesting or moving of the week.

This is not a "10 best stories" list.

And while we understand that the writers, photographers and editors are not professional journalists, we're looking for work that adheres to sound journalistic practices.

Stories are picked in the following general categories:
news, features, entertainment, student life and opinions.

Generally, we don't post sports stories unless they have a strong news peg or are features that are of interest to readers beyond the local readership.
