On December 1, the AAUP, the College Media Association (CMA), the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC), and the Student Press Law Center (SPLC) released a report, Threats to the Independence of Student Media, shining a light on threats to student media and faculty and staff advisers.  The report reaffirms and expands upon basic principles of a free student press and academic freedom as articulated in the 1967 Joint Statement on the Rights and Freedoms of Students. Recently I joined SPLC’s Frank LoMonte to discuss the report in a half-hour podcast, which can be heard at SPLC’s website here or via iTunes here.
