Download or read book An Investigation of Censorship of Printed and Online Student Publications by High School Administrators written by Martin C. Pflieger and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers and television no longer are the only media high school students use to practice journalism. The Internet gives students another outlet for exercising their First Amendment rights. To determine the extent to which high school administrators are censoring online student publications compared to their print counterparts, an electronic survey of high school journalism teachers and advisers from around the country was conducted. A total of 93 teachers and advisers filled out a 33-question, web-based survey that explored their experiences with prior review and censorship of the two types of publications they oversee. An analysis of the study data found that administrators are more likely to exercise prior review of print publications and censor their content than they are online publications. Although just under 40% of survey respondents said their students produced an online newspaper, 86% indicated their schools do not have policies governing what students can publish online. And, 55% indicated that students have the final say over what is published online, a percentage only slightly higher than the 52.5% of respondents who said students have the final say over the content in their print publications. Overall, administrators exercise less control over online newspapers compared to print newspapers, and cede more decision-making control to students who publish online compared to students who publish in print.

Foerstel, author of Banned in the U.S.A., the acclaimed reference guide to book censorship in schools and public libraries, offers a brief history of media censorship, examines in-depth the drama of seven landmark incidents, and includes 31 relevant court cases. Complementing the volume are personal interviews with prominent victims of media censorship, who give human voice to the struggle of the media to remain free, and an examination of censorship of the student press. Fascinating examples of media censorship abound, from Peter Zenger's prerevolutionary trial for seditious libel to the modern tobacco industry's invocation of tortious interference to silence television news and the current rash of Internet censorship incidents. Chapter 1 offers a brief history of censorship of each of the media types. Chapter 2 features indepth analysis of seven landmark media censorship incidents: the trial of John Peter Zenger, H. L. Mencken and the hatrack case, John Henry Faulk and the radio blacklist, Progressive magazine's expos^D'e on the H-bomb secret, government labeling of three documentary films as political propaganda, television's tobacco wars, and Carnegie Mellon's attempt to censor students' access to the Internet.

Appendix B contains a resource list of media advocacy and censorship organizations. A selected bibliography of books and electronic resources completes the text.

Download or read book On Parents Peers Administrators and Advisers written by Adam M. Maksl and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two surveys of young college students (N1=134; N2=372) were used to examine what perceived familial and educational factors influenced former high school journalism students' comfort levels with controversial stories running in the student newspaper. Using theory from developmental psychology, newsroom sociology, communications, and legal studies, this dissertation develops a model for understanding both direct and indirect influences on freedom of expression in the scholastic press. Specifically, results suggest that perceptions of peers' and advisers' comfort with publishing controversial stories influences individual comfort levels. Contrary to suggestions from other scholastic journalism research, former scholastic journalists' perceptions of their principals' opinions were not predictive of individual comfort levels with running controversial stories. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Download or read book Lessons in Censorship written by Catherine J. Ross and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American public schools often censor controversial student speech that the Constitution protects. Lessons in Censorship brings clarity to a bewildering array of court rulings that define the speech rights of young citizens in the school setting. Catherine J. Ross examines disputes that have erupted in our schools and courts over the civil rights movement, war and peace, rights for LGBTs, abortion, immigration, evangelical proselytizing, and the Confederate flag. She argues that the failure of schools to respect civil liberties betrays their educational mission and threatens democracy. From the 1940s through the Warren years, the Supreme Court celebrated free expression and emphasized the role of schools in cultivating liberty. But the Burger, Rehnquist, and Roberts courts retreated from that vision, curtailing certain categories of student speech in the name of order and authority. Drawing on hundreds of lower court decisions, Ross shows how some judges either misunderstand the law or decline to rein in censorship that is clearly unconstitutional, and she powerfully demonstrates the continuing vitality of the Supreme Court’s initial affirmation of students’ expressive rights. Placing these battles in their social and historical context, Ross introduces us to the young protesters, journalists, and artists at the center of these stories. Lessons in Censorship highlights the troubling and growing tendency of schools to clamp down on off-campus speech such as texting and sexting and reveals how well-intentioned measures to counter verbal bullying and hate speech may impinge on free speech. Throughout, Ross proposes ways to protect free expression without disrupting education.
