Abstract
Purpose. School newspaper contributes to the educational and formative process and documents the everyday life of a school. Non the less, publishing continuity, adequate storage and accessibility are frequent problems. The paper aims to analyse high school newspapers relating to their social, cultural and educational values.
Approach/methodology. Diachronic analysis of concept and content of high school newspapers published in Split schools from the late socialist period of the sixties through the transition period, ending with the first decade of the 21st century.
Findings. Analysis reveals a continuity of universal educational values in high school newspapers within different social and political context.
Research limitations. The paper doesn’t include ideological aspects of educational values in school newspapers, rather aims for investigation of school everyday life and universal education values on which the newspapers are based on.
Value. Split high school newspapers published at the turn of the 20th into the 21st century are consistent with their educational and informative role. They reveal characteristics of school life chronicles and strengthen the connection between the institution and the community it serves. The paper aims to emphasise the importance of adequate storage and access to school newspaper in libraries.
