About school newspaper names

School newspaper names follow a few reliable formulas, and the best ones are chosen to be said out loud at a pep rally and printed on a masthead. The most common is the mascot plus a press word, preferably alliterative: The Lion's Roar, Bulldog Bulletin, Tiger Times, Panther Press, Wildcat Weekly. A second group borrows from real newspapers and sounds serious on purpose: The Sentinel, The Beacon, The Clarion, The Torch, The Observer, The Lantern. A third plays on school life itself, with names like Hall Pass, The Tardy Slip, Locker Room Ledger, After the Bell and The Scoop.

Pick by audience. High school and college papers lean toward one strong word or a classic masthead (The Talon, The Oracle, Varsity Voice) because they get cited and sometimes win press-association awards under that name. Middle school papers can carry a pun. Elementary class papers work best with something warm and obvious, such as Cub Reporter, Recess Report, Crayon Chronicle or Gold Star Gazette, that kids can read and say themselves.

Whatever you choose, check that it is not already taken by a nearby school, that it fits in one line of a masthead, and that it still makes sense when it appears on a website, a social account and a PDF rather than a printed page. Short, specific and easy to shout usually wins.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Alliteration is the oldest trick in the school-paper book: match the first sound of your mascot to a press word (Bulldog Bulletin, Tiger Times, Hawk Herald) and it will sound like it has always existed.
  • Look for a name that doubles as a verb or a pun on the mascot (The Roar, The Sting, The Stampede, The Rampage) so headlines and social handles have something to play with.
  • Check the name against your school's other publications and the yearbook, and search your state's scholastic press association winners list to avoid a clash with a neighboring school.
  • For elementary class papers, choose something children can read aloud and illustrate, such as Recess Report or Crayon Chronicle, and let the class vote on the final two.
  • Test the name as a web address and a handle; The Talon at a school with a URL like talon.school.edu will outlast a twelve-word title nobody types.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a school newspaper?

Mascot names with a press word (The Lion's Roar, Bulldog Bulletin, Eagle Eye), classic mastheads (The Sentinel, The Beacon, The Torch, The Oracle) and school-life puns (Hall Pass, The Tardy Slip, After the Bell) are the three styles that show up most on award-winning student papers.

How do I name an elementary school newspaper?

Keep it short, friendly and readable by the students who write it. Cub Reporter, Recess Report, The Paw Print, Gold Star Gazette and Kid Chronicle all work, and naming it after the school mascot makes younger kids feel it belongs to them.

Should the school's name be in the newspaper title?

Usually no. The masthead normally carries the paper's name with the school name printed smaller underneath, so The Spartan Spear reads better than Westfield High School Spartan Spear. Using the mascot or colors gives you the school identity without the length.

Can I use a name that another school already uses?

Legally there is rarely a problem, since common titles like The Talon or The Roar are used by hundreds of schools. Practically, it helps to avoid a name used by a school in your district or conference so search results, social handles and press awards do not get confused.
