SALEM — The Salem News and the members of the Greater Salem Boys & Girls Club are teaming up to make another student newspaper available online.

Beginning today, the club's youth-run newspaper, What's the Word, will be available to readers across the North Shore through a link on The Salem News Web page, www.salemnews.com. What's the Word is written by members of the Media Club, a group of 11- to 15-year-olds that meets each Tuesday afternoon.

This is the second collaboration for The Salem News. The Witches Brew, the Salem High School student newspaper, debuted earlier this year; the second edition is due this spring.
