FRICH (Forum for Research Into Communication History) is an "underground". Founded in 1998, FRICH has attempted to produce satirical views on issues typically not published in the school’s traditional newspaper, The Niwot South Paw. The publication honors have traditionally been passed down from generation to generation and currently, these honors lie in the hands of the present high school senior class, the Class of 2009.
The newspaper is typically organized into two columns on the first, second, and fourth pages, and one column on the third. There is little that FRICH will not print, as it gladly welcomes submissions from the student body (those who are not part of the writing staff of FRICH) and anyone else who wishes to express their opinion.
Content
FRICH publishes a variety of content. The most typical form of content is satirical editorial, in the form of a 300-600 word article. Lists are also published, which typically give a sarcastic view on a general belief. Lists are typically ten elements long, but have been longer than this. The next school year, only two issues were published after which its production ceased.
Controversy
FRICH, being an “open forum” has been controversial in some instances during its days of publication.
