Media Coverage
“The project has grown into a network of 400 student journalists contributing reportage and opinion pieces from around the country…While ‘The Daily Show’ and its ilk remain staples of young peoples’ news diets, Scoop aims for meatier fare. Calling itself a newspaper is one way to signal that intent…[embracing] the old media universe as ardently as [it] does the new.”
“It’s a national daily online newspaper by and for college and high school students…the one with most of its ideals still intact.”
“So whether it is exploring the compatibility of democracy and Islam, as one columnist did, or examining how sports and politics can mix, the tone and approach of Scoop is different from watching the political pundits on ‘Meet the Press.’”
“…The output of what Scoop gives us reason for hope. [Scoop] is a vibrant community that is helping to bring new and greater perspectives to coverage around the country.”
-John Palfrey’s Harvard Law School Blog
“Launched last November, the paper has covered a myriad of topics in a way that has proven to be interesting to young people. It has also created a dialogue among our youth.”
“One looks out for budding phenomena, capable of generating independent political strength. I note the birth of Scoop, a venture by students teeming with intelligent concern for the listlessness they propose to combat. What especially attracts attention is the arrant boldness of the venture.”
-William F. Buckley, National Review
