UT Dallas bars FIRE from speaking at student event In trying to silence student journalists, UT Dallas only made them louder. Now after censoring the campus paper and banning FIRE from speaking, the backlash is bigger than Texas.

Student journalists covering Trump’s orders: Here are some story ideas From DEIA bans to immigration and international student issues

Today is Student Press Freedom Day — a day to appreciate and protect the critical reporting done at schools across the country on a daily basis.

Student journalists: You have the right to report on civil rights and liberties on campus.

Student press freedom isn’t universal Student journalists outside the U.S. navigate restrictions without First Amendment protections.

"Korean student journalists must take extra precautions. This often means self-censoring topics that might not sit well with the administration and consulting advisers on what is safe to publish."

For Student Press Freedom Day on Feb. 27, the @pressfreedomtracker.us is looking back at press freedom aggressions against student journalists since our inception in 2017, with a particular focus on 2024.

“A hard hit for the fact-checking community and journalism”: Meta eliminates fact-checking in the U.S. Meta will replace its third-party fact-checking program in the U.S. with a crowd-sourced community notes program similar to the one used by X, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on his Facebook page on…

Should a Student Reporter Face Prosecution for Embedding with Protesters? Dilan Gohill won an award for his work at the Stanford Daily, but his coverage of campus protests has set university officials against him.

6 months ago, some Stanford students barricaded themselves in the university president's office. A student reporter followed them in. He was arrested and faces felony allegations.
The university wants him prosecuted.
I looked into why.

Young journalists will reimagine a better press "The newest generation of journalists will not give in to pessimism about whether their profession still matters in an age of cynicism about the press."
