A proposed high school newspaper where students write, an adult approves, and seven AI agents handle the editorial machinery around the story.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
Schools without a newspaper adviser
Worth noticing
Seven AI agents operate through fixed forms, with no form field for writing story prose.

Field notes

The homepage presents seven narrowly bounded AI roles rather than a general-purpose writing assistant. Students supply the reporting and prose; the system can generate ideas, question drafts, inspect sourcing, suggest presentation text, hold a story for review, and maintain a public production record. Its sample issue is deliberately fictional, and the site says no real school has used the paper yet.
