Fans of the Onion and other satirical news sources will soon be able to enjoy a local twist wherever they are.

The Park Spark club, formed last year as a satire and humor newspaper has opted to go with a online format to create better coverage and meet realistic goals. Senior co-founder of Park Spark, Anna Glassman-Kaufman, said the new format will help keep new stories coming at a constant pace.

“It won’t be coming out as an issue the way a regular newspaper does,” Glassman-Kaufman said. “Its online and it’s going to be more in the style of a blog, so as we have articles they will come out on our website so that we can have a continuous stream of articles.”

The website will have an electronic format with produced, edited and spread by Park students. Students of any grade can join the club, which meets every Tuesday after school at the computer labs to work. Glassman-Kaufman said new members are welcome to join regardless of previous experience.

“Anyone can join, freshman through seniors. It doesn’t matter what classes they’ve taken, just anyone who is interested can stop by and we will find a role for them,” Glassman-Kaufman said.

While setting up their publication, Park Spark is also looking at topics that might cause friction or controversy while still being humorous. Staff advisor Chris Nordmark said that will act as the gatekeeper of how far the publication can go in their pursuit of humor.

“I would take that on a case by case basis. If somebody has a spin on (the controversial topic) that works and looks at it in a creative way and isn’t glorifying or pushing the boundaries in an inappropriate way then it could be okay,” Nordmark. “But I would have to  see it to make that choice.”

This kind of freedom speaks to sophomore Albie Sher who said she would be interested in seeing funny articles about things related to high schoolers such as school, sex, drugs and social lives.

“(Drugs or sex) are hot topics with students right now, they are what people are talking about and want to read about,” Sher said.

The publication meets every Tuesday after school in one of the two computer labs. Contact Anna Glassman-Kaufman  for more information.
