This is a report from three Ontario high school journalists involved with the Canadian Youth Journalism Project who have kept their publications running even in the midst of Covid. They have been exactly what has been needed: La Silhouette, one high school newspaper, "has been uniquely suited to provide our student body with school news, entertainment, a space to share opinions and resources," writes Maxim Gushchin.
