My friends and I are going to be working on a thematic newspaper this summer for the next school year. The purpose of the paper is to educate and interest the student body in politics and history, with critical perspectives to establish an ignorant-free enviroment. Issues will cover several things:
Aniversaries of selected persons with a small biography. Everyone from left philosophers (Marx, Marcuse, Freire) to famous people, activists and revolutionaries (Lenin, Helen Keller, Oscar Wilde, Einstein) etc. Marxist/Socialist/ or political [economy] terminology (Capitalism, false consciousness, Alienation..etc) Historical events (US foreign policy, current events... these will corralate with the aniversaries too) Analyze specific controversial topics (MLK and Malcolm X assassinations, Nixon's reign, 2000 election, wars, Black Panthers, Israel/Palestine...etc)
Each issue will be thematic, thus everything will connect in some way. Our intentions is that after having read an issue, the reader will have a better idea of how "the system" works, and be aware of the world outside their own. A forum will also be provided to expand the field of discussion and debate; we are going to use an already existing forum www.ctcafe.net
The only thing we need is a nme for the paper! What would make a cool name for such a publication?
