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.
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.”

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! facebook.com/donate/25640005…

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 theriverdalereview.com/home/…
A good read and refreshing take on the state of free speech on college campuses (🎁 link)

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.
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.”
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! loom.ly/3VbnbHE

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!

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

This project brought together student journalists at 12 Chicago public, private and charter schools with resources from @MedillSchool. It was wonderful to be part of a cool project.
