New Voices PA

It's a great day for #StudentPressFreedom! @newvoicesnj Bill A169 passed the New Jersey Education Committee 6-0. So proud of students for their testimony and the tireless leadership of N.J. advisers and supporters, @jeapressrights @SPLC and more. Onward!

Today @afitzpatrickCJE led a discussion on @PaVoices at the first of @PointParkU’s series of free journalism education webinars. Background, updates + more—great momentum on important legislation! Thanks to @thehedav + @SPLC for assisting... more at newvoicespa.com!

Can't get over how important + timely this feature on student voice in @AASAHQ is. Saving the whole issue to read later. But the story on student publications is 🔥. H/T @PantherPressSHS + @stacey_hetrick #page/30" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pageturnpro.com/AASA/95273-Jun…

“There’s a lot of self-censorship. We’re protective of our advisors. When trying something controversial or dangerous, they’re laying their jobs on the line.” 🔥 @thespoke @FHSPress @PantherPressSHS + all student journos in PA rallying for @PaVoices mainlinetoday.com/life-style/the…

From @SPLC: "School censorship of journalism disproportionately targets female teens, marginalizing their voices and diminishing their ability to develop as leaders." We need #NewVoices legislation to protect our students' voices! #InternationalWomensDay

#Journalism matters. Students' voices matter. The @newvoicesny, @PaVoices, @NewVoicesFL, @VoicesTexas and sister campaigns are on the move, and we won't stop until the nation's student journalists have full access to their #FirstAmendment rights. #NewVoices @SPLC (16/x)

“If we trust students to use a lathe in a wood shop, or a blowtorch in a technical education course, why are we so afraid of giving them a pen?” 🔥from @washingtonpost + @SPLC cc: @PaVoices + many others in a subtweet, you know who you are. washingtonpost.com/local/educatio…

“If student journalists were to guide their ethical decisions by asking the question, ‘Which choice would the administration agree with?’ their freedom of expression would be inherently compromised.”

What’s happening with New Voices in 2020? We sat down with SPLC's New Voices organizer to talk about states with legislative momentum, the goals of the movement and how folks can get involved. bit.ly/34zw2rU

A great story by college paper @atitan about high school journalists in their area who say they were put "through hell" because of censorship, but managed to eventually reveal the truth. bit.ly/2DNbWPZ
