A brief history
The St. Mary’s Diplomat newspaper is a student-run newspaper that has been running since 1954, and a new era for the school newspaper has begun! Today, the journalism class launched the first-ever online newspaper website with various features and stories. The previous version of
“The Diplomat”, was in video news form, posting videos on social media weekly. From the 2024-2025 school year, the journalism class is led by Mr.Dave Douglas, and the New Diplomat now has its website for the first time!
About the Website
The St.Marys Diplomat website features a clean look. On the top of the website, there is a scrolling “latest stories” section on the top of the website, which previews titles of more interesting new stories featured on the Diplomat. There is also a “question of the week” poll section, featuring questions made by students of the Journalism class. This week’s question is “What is the best Lunch at Cezar’s?” The website currently has 7 sections (News, features, reviews, sports, spotlight, about the staff, arts, and opinions), which allow people to read articles in the section of their interest.
With the launch of this new platform, the Diplomat makes it easier for students, teachers, and other people in the community to stay informed and receive the latest news. A new era for Journalism has begun, and be sure to stay tuned for updates and more exciting news!
