### Join Your Middle School Newspaper Team

Running a middle school newspaper is an exciting way to give students hands-on experience in journalism, writing, and teamwork—but coordinating applications, reviewing writing samples, and scheduling advisor interviews can quickly become overwhelming when you're managing stacks of paper forms and email attachments.

This **Middle School Newspaper Staff Application** template from Paperform streamlines the entire recruitment process into one professional, easy-to-complete online form. Students can submit their applications, upload writing samples, indicate their section interests, and book their advisor interview time—all in one place.

#### Designed for Middle School Journalism Programs

Whether you're a journalism teacher, newspaper advisor, or student council sponsor, this template helps you collect everything you need to build a talented, committed newspaper team. The form captures student contact information, grade level, previous journalism or writing experience, preferred newspaper sections (news, features, sports, opinion, photography), photography and design skills, and publication schedule availability.

Students can upload writing samples directly, answer reflection questions about why they want to join the newspaper, and even schedule their advisor interview using Paperform's built-in appointment booking features.
