: It really depends on how well journalism is integrated into your school. For high schools with journalism courses, an established newspaper, and a great, world class advisor, there are probably 30 or 40 people, and getting on the newspaper is selective - you need to be able to produce.

: In smaller schools with no classes, and no real advisor (just a supervisor; the students doing most of the work), I would image about a dozen students, with only 5 or 6 of them actively involved every day, writing most of the content and doing most of the work.

"just a supervisor, the sutdents doing most of the work"? Excuse me, but I think students do most of the work whether there's a real advisor or not. The best paper is the one which is made 100% by students. Advisors only stump your creativity and look out for administration's interests.
