In an effort to reach a larger audience, Park’s online satirical newspaper, the Park Spark, will be releasing physical newspapers. The idea for physical papers sprang up during a club meeting while discussing ways to attract more readers to the site. The current plan is to release a paper with the best stories of the year sometime before spring break as a one time deal.

Adviser Chris Nordmark said getting the final product won’t be easy.

“We still need to figure out how we’re gonna print it and do the layout,” Nordmark said. “We’ve never done anything like this before.”

The club, only two years old, peaks at about 40 hits whenever they put out new content. Despite a twitter and facebook page, Junior Justin Less, the publication’s de facto editor, said they still weren’t reaching enough people, and they hope the paper will change that.

“By giving people a more tangible form, we can reach a bigger audience,” Less said.

Nordmark believes students in the publication gain valuable skills they don’t receive in the classroom.

“It teaches teamwork, how to have civilized debate and expand your view, and it can teach lessons in sensitivity,” Nordmark said.

Junior contributor Henry Feldman said he enjoys the aspect of being imaginative with the news.

“It’s really just fun to get creative with current events,” Feldman said.
