I just read an interesting article at Inside Higher Education. It focused on a topic that was presented at the National College Media Convention during a session called “Up Against the Wall: Working for Administrators.”

The session covered how student newspapers at religion-based colleges and universities can function as a newspaper and work around administrators’ attempts at censorship.

From what I can gather, the session focused on knowing the rules, how to get around them and when to break them.

I think the advice transcends beyond student newspapers at religious colleges. If all student newspapers made an effort to think about what its school’s rules were, it would streamline their coverage and probably minimize some unnecessary conflicts with administrators.
