Students at Keith High School in Orrville have published the second edition of their student newspaper through a journalism class launched earlier this year in partnership with the Black Belt News Network.

The first edition of the Keith Bear Nation News, created as part of BBNN’s Teen Press Initiative, was released in March before Spring Break. The second edition was distributed to students on Thursday and shared with families during graduation festivities later that evening.

The Teen Press Initiative is part of BBNN’s Black Belt Media Lab and aims to amplify student voices while helping support the future of rural journalism across Alabama’s Black Belt.
