About Us

Students reporting on the school they know best.

The AISR Student Press is the student newspaper club at the American International School of Riyadh. We cover campus news, student life, sports, opinion and creative work, and every story on this site is reported, photographed and edited by students.

Our mission

Tell the AISR community what is happening at school, accurately and fairly, and give students a place to be heard.

We ask questions, check the answers, and publish work we are willing to put our names on. A good school paper is a record of the year: the games, the elections, the new teachers, the arguments in the cafeteria and the art that came out of them.

The Press is run by students. Editors assign and edit stories, writers and photographers report them, and anyone at AISR can pitch an idea or send in their work. Send yours through the submission form.

What we cover

Five sections, each with its own editor. Every story on the site belongs to one of them.

  1. 01School NewsCampus updates, event coverage, club spotlights and academic announcements.
  2. 02Student Life & CultureAdvice columns, book and movie reviews, cafeteria and local reviews.
  3. 03SportsRecent games, events in athlete life and pieces about sport at AISR.
  4. 04OpinionStudent-written op-eds, debates and personal essays.
  5. 05Creative CornerShort stories, poetry, digital art and photography.

Join the staff

No experience needed. Curiosity helps.

The Press is open to any AISR student who wants to write, report, take photos, draw or edit. New members start with a small assignment and get feedback from an editor before anything is published.

Standards

Editorial policy

The rules every story on this site is held to. If you think we broke one, tell us.

  1. 01Accuracy

    We check facts before we publish. Names, titles, dates, numbers and quotes are confirmed with the source or a record. If we cannot confirm something, it does not run.

  2. 02Fairness

    Anyone who is criticised in a news story gets a real chance to respond before it runs. We quote people in context and do not bend their words to fit a story.

  3. 03Corrections

    When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. A correction note with the date is added to the end of the story. We do not quietly delete or rewrite published work.

    To report an error, use the contact form or message an editor.

  4. 04Sourcing

    We tell readers where information comes from. We prefer named, on-the-record sources, talk to more than one person on contested topics, and credit other publications when we use their reporting. Photos and art are credited to the person who made them.

  5. 05Anonymous sources

    We rarely publish without a name. An Editor-in-Chief must approve any anonymous source, and only when the person could face real harm for speaking and the information matters to readers. The editors always know who the source is, even when readers do not.

  6. 06Conflicts of interest

    Staff do not cover a team, club or event they belong to, or people they are close to, without telling an editor first. Where a connection matters, we either assign someone else or say so in the story.

  7. 07Use of AI

    Stories, photos and art on this site are made by students. We do not publish text or images generated by AI tools. Writers may use tools for spelling and grammar, but every fact is checked by a person and every published word is the writer's own.

  8. 08Opinion and news

    News stories report what happened without the writer's own view. Opinion pieces, reviews and columns are labelled and run in the Opinion section or are clearly marked. They speak for their writers, not for the Press or for AISR.
