Terry L. Hapney Jr., Ph.D.

Recent headlines illustrate that the struggle continues between student journalists and administrators on public university campuses nationwide. The back and forth centers on student journalists’ objective of reporting on the activities occurring on the campuses and administrators’ hesitance to provide the necessary information to ensure the students can do their jobs, as charged by the student newspapers for which they work.

fairly steady basis (Hapney & Russo, 2013). Occasionally,
this comes in the form of student government associations
that defund student newspapers in retaliation for

and student government associations is not a license to
