Trib Launches HS Paper

The Chicago Tribune launched its high school–focused paper The Mash yesterday, distributing 100,000 copies to Chicago Public School students. The print and online edition are mostly written by high school students, who are paid between $10 and $25 for articles, with guidance and oversight by Trib staff. [CBS 2, Editor and Publisher]

Hmmm....looks suspiciously like the RedEye to me.

sparky, when they're paying high-schoolers $10-25 an article, I think its just a matter of time before Zell kills off both the RedEye and the Trib proper in favor of the Mash.

The only question is whether it'll be a step up or down.
