The Chicago Tribune has appointed Tran Ha, editor of the Tribune-owned RedEye Weekend, as editor of the paper's high school newspaper project. The project, due out early next year, consists of a weekly newspaper and website, and will be aimed at and written by Chicago public high school students.

"Teens in Chicago are unique and deserve a paper and website that speaks to them...one that gets students more interested in reading and writing," she said in a statement.

Ha was previously a copy editor and assistant features editor at RedEye.
