A word from the author
In this book, we explore the problems faced by three students—Minami, Yumeka, and Shinsuke—who are reporters for a fictional high school's web newspaper, when reporting various events happening on campus.
I wrote this hoping that high school students and others will also struggle with the basic rules and principles of news and journalism and discuss them as if they were their own concerns. (That's why the difficult word 'journalism' doesn't appear until the very last chapter.) ）
