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 _________________________________________________________________ Don't get caught with egg on your face. Play Chicktionary! http://club.live.com/chicktionary.aspx?icid=chick_wlhmtextlink1_dec

Cool, we're being reused. Being reused in this context fulfills one of the mission goals of wikinews in my humble opinion.
To Damon: Good luck with your paper.

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.
