About the Founder
%20%20(1).png)
Leanne Yoon, founder of the Student Press Central, is the editor-in-chief of the Jets Flyover, the student news site of Daegu International School in South Korea. Her mission to make scholastic journalism accessible to all began with her experience at the CSPA Editorial Leadership Course in 2023. Since then, she has made changes to the DIS Journalism Program such as creating the staff manual, implementing an editor training system, and creating a staff selection system. In the year and a half she has been in high-ranking leadership, Yoon has led the Jets Flyover to become the 4th site to achieve "Distinguished Sites" status out of 3,000+ School News Online (SNO) clients. Yoon is lucky enough to have a driven adviser and staff to develop the Jets Flyover with, but she realized that other schools, especially those outside the U.S., do not have the opportunities that she received. Yoon hopes to share her vision and experiences so that budding student journalists who are looking to start up their own publications can turn to the High School Press Central for guidance.
