Student journalists deserve your respect even when they don't make national news. I was 19 years old doing a job that is still difficult for me at 24, and juggling school on top of it. The work they do is important whether it's breaking big news or covering a meeting.

Here is @onthemedia's guide for interviewing conspiracy theorists and other disinformers running for office.

The first one is by far the most important. And I'd go further: ask yourself why you're doing this— then share that answer with the rest of us.

[Logan Aimone @loganaimone]

Yes yes yes!
“We deserve the opportunity to share our voices fully, without restriction. As student journalists, we deserve more. More funding, more education, more workshops, more attention.”

Hey College Journalists: 👇🏼👇🏿👇🏾👇🏽👇🏼

[Logan Aimone @loganaimone]

Help @SPLC unlock $15,000 in matching funds! All resources are FREE to every student or teacher regardless of location or situation. But costs have increased, so the same budget doesn't go as far. Every $10, $25 or $50 can make a big impact! Thank you! https://t.co/r7Nk3NugFb

[Logan Aimone @loganaimone]

The @SPLC's new executive director began this week. Get to know Gary Green, and you'll see why we're excited for this new era at SPLC.

Yep, every American high school needs journalism:
✅ Builds community
✅ Informs citizenry
✅ Develops thinking, writing teamwork through experiential learning
✅ Strengthens democracy
✅ Reduces susceptibility to propaganda and disinformation https://t.co/cxQQPcmM9s

@JonHansenTalks @Brandon4Chicago @BpopeTV @mickeyd1971 @BlockClubCHI I really enjoyed this series, especially the post-election wrap-up. I hope it continues in some form. Block Club’s reporters really know their beats!

Twitter’s owner is trying to establish his version of the truth. It won’t work. @NPR isn’t “state-affiliated media” — and we must reject this Orwellian revision.

[David Gura @davidgura]

Yesterday, @elonmusk’s Twitter labeled NPR “state-affiliated media,” even though the company’s own policy stated the organization shouldn’t be labeled as such because it has editorial independence (left).

Hours later, Twitter removed the reference to NPR in the policy (right).

Great story about a student journalist creating and helping community @_TheOnyxConnect @IllinoisStateU

Yep: “West Virginia demonstrates a few key lessons: that sheer persistence outweighs opposition, that appeals to common values triumph over political differences, and that finding individual champions—in the legislature, the student body, or elsewhere—is essential.”

[Student Press Law Center @SPLC]

Everybody say "Congratulations West Virginia!" 🥳🎉 Governor Jim Justice just signed the Student Journalist Press Freedom Protection Act, making West Virginia the 17th New Voices state! https://t.co/H7ykeyAZGw

Amazing lineup of newsmakers, policymakers and journos! 2024 Campaign Journalism Conference from @UChiPolitics & @niemanfdn is FREE 4/26-27! Journalists/media outlets (e.g. local/campus) are encouraged to apply for stipends if travel costs are a barrier. https://t.co/0da2Uc0mx0

Objectivity has been the gold standard in journalism. But whose objectivity? We need more than “both sides.” My recent presentation at @CSPA updated for 2023.

Truly amazing news from West Virginia! Thanks to diligent advocates, who made this happen, and a responsive legislature who empowers student journalists!

[Student Press Law Center @SPLC]

🎉New Voices is heading to another governor's desk!🎉 Moments ago, the West Virginia legislature overwhelmingly approved SB 121, the Student Journalist Press Freedom Protection Act. https://t.co/qHme8jed81

Being a sports journalist isn’t just covering games. It’s understanding what’s going on in the locker room and back offices: Social justice movements, gender disparities, funding, abuse. Explore the new Sports Media Toolkit from @SPLC
