First Amendment Rights: Student Journalists, Broadcasters, and Bloggers
Jim Castagnera
What Did They Say?!
Student reporters may criticize your college or university, make disparaging remarks about staff members or other students, or reflect on the world around them in an objectionable way.
You need to understand the First Amendment rights afforded to these journalists, broadcasters, and bloggers to balance them with the need to protect your institution, students, staff, and other stakeholders.
Former university associate provost and practicing attorney Dr. Jim Castagnera will share legal insights and practical insights about the First Amendment rights of students. You will learn what controls you can put in place to protect your institution and community members.
