Hello,

My name is Damon and I am a high school student in Florida. I have gotten approval from my teacher and principal to create an online newspaper for our school covering mostly US and some International news. My question is, is it ok to reuse the wikinews data as my source of news for the school website ?

Thank you Damon

Damon,

There's other parts of Wikinews you might want to take a look at too.

For example http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/WN:SG - the style guide could serve as the basis for your paper's guidelines.
