The district school newspaper PI-Rat is the free school newspaper for all secondary schools in the Pinneberg district , northwest of Hamburg . It is created on a voluntary basis by young people for young people. It appears twice a year (summer and winter) with a circulation of 10,000 copies. This makes the PI Council the largest school newspaper in Schleswig-Holstein. Distribution is carried out by the editorial staff at grammar schools, comprehensive schools, secondary schools and secondary schools, as well as at the vocational schools in the Pinneberg district. Copies are also displayed in youth facilities, libraries and individual shops.
history
A first edition of the newspaper appeared in 1995. By 1999 another four editions were published. In 2002 the newspaper was revived with a weekend seminar organized by the Junge Presse Pinneberg eV. The first edition of the new episode was published in Portable Document Format on their homepage. The following issues were then published in print as planned. The newspaper has a circulation of 10,000 copies from the start.
aims
The PI-Rat editorial team aims to publish articles from a youthful point of view on topics that revolve around, interest and occupy young people. The aim is to preserve the altruistic character of a newspaper and give interested schoolchildren and young adults the opportunity to gain insights into the world of journalism.
In terms of content, the PI Council aims not only to deal with pleasant topics, but also to shed light on supposedly taboo topics such as drug consumption, crime, sex or xenophobia. These topics are considered to be “on the pulse of young people”.
editorial staff
The PI-Rat editorial team consists of schoolchildren, trainees and young students between the ages of 14 and 23. The various areas of responsibility within the editorial work are divided into departments.
Naming and logo
The name PI-Rat is derived from the PI license plate for the Pinneberg district and the word "Rat". As an artificial word, the name - apart from the identification with the circle - has no deeper meaning. So the name is based on the pirate .
Up to issue 3 after the new edition of the PI-Rat, a vehicle registration number with the letters PI-Rat and then the numbers for the number of the respective issue were used. In the course of a face-lifting, a more modern logo was designed for issue 4, which resembles a graffiti. This new logo was retained from now on.
