Tattler (student newspaper)
Summary
NOTOC
The Tattler is the student newspaper of Ithaca High School in Ithaca, New York. Founded in 1892, it is one of the oldest student newspapers in the United States. It is published twelve times a year and has a circulation of about 3,000, with distribution in both the school and in the community.
The Tattler has traditionally been almost entirely student-run, with a student editorial board and student writers working with the assistance of a faculty advisor (usually a teacher in the IHS English department). The publication has expanded considerably in the past ten years, increasing its number of pages, introducing distribution outside of the high school, and developing an online presence.
Famous alumni include Paul Wolfowitz (Features Editor, 1959–1960; Editorial Assistant, 1960–1961) and Stephen Carter (Editor-in-Chief, 1971–1972).
The Tattler's slogan, a pun on the New York Times''' slogan, is "All the news that's fit to tattle."
The Tattler has twice (in 2005 and 2007) won the Ithaca High School Class/Ithaca Public Education Initiative "Support Our School Community Award," an award given to the extracurricular activity "which has had the most positive impact on IHS".
The first issue of the Tattler was published on December 1, 1892. The paper concentrated on news for its first decade, but from about 1910 to 1930, it resembled a yearbook. During the Second World War, it was published weekly as a broadsheet and subscribed to the wire services.
There appears to have been a gap during the 1950s when the Tattler was not published. It returned by 1959 as a magazine-sized publication. It reported on the continuous upheavals in the administration (garnering administration hostility) until the early 1980s, switching to its current tabloid size during the early 70s. From 1984 to 1992, it was renamed the IHS Press.
The "Tattler" name was restored (with the volume numbering restarted) in 1992 and has been in continuous publication since then.
