Basic Trope: A School Newspaper which has too much influence in its school's important events.
- Straight: Alice is a lead reporter of School Times, a newspaper that can influence the Absurdly Powerful Student Council's elections
- Exaggerated: School Times can influence U.S. Politics.
- Downplayed: The School Times isn't usually this powerful - their one issue however reveals explosive secrets.
- Justified:
- Alice is exceptionally talented and dedicated - she has gotten published in national newspapers on her own before. Her involvement naturally makes the School Times influential.
- This show takes place in Alternate History where Hazelwood School District et al. v. Kuhlmeier et al. was decided in favor of Kuhlmeier.
- Inverted: A professional newspaper is bizarrely influential on the school.
- Subverted:
- It appears that the news paper has an influence on U.S. politics but they're just echoing similar ideas of a more famous newspaper that has the actual influence.
- The School of Journalism Times' influence is simulated for rather obvious educational purposes.
- Double Subverted: Except it is revealed that the famous newspaper actually plagiarized them. The real news paper gains their fame and influence as a result.
- Parodied: The School Times is shown to be massively budgeted. Not only do they have full scale printing presses for a school of under a thousand they even have their own 24-7 TV show that puts others to shame.
