Developing an editorial
policy
No matter what platform you use, the choice
of an editorial policy can make or break your
publication(s) – and consistency is highly
recommended. What you select, and why,
does make a difference
Consider this policy:
―XXXX is created by the XXXX City Schools and
published under the auspices of the Board of
Education. XXXX is a curriculum taken for
academic credit and has educational purposes
as a regular classroom activity. No material shall
be considered for publication that is libelous,
obscene, profane, biased, prejudiced, unsuitable
for its readers, or that defames character,
encourages violation of laws or would cause
disruption or material interference with the
orderly operation and discipline of the school.‖
Key words to note
―XXXX is created by the XXXX City Schools and
published under the auspices of the Board of
Education. XXXX is a curriculum taken for
academic credit and has educational
purposes as a regular classroom activity. No
material shall be considered for publication that
is libelous, obscene, profane, biased,
prejudiced, unsuitable for its readers, or that
defames character, encourages violation of laws
or would cause disruption or material
interference with the orderly operation and
discipline of the school.‖
Additional issues?
The principal has the responsibility to monitor student
verbal and written expression. Students who violate
the standards for verbal and written expression will
be subject to corrective action or discipline.
The student publications instructor or adviser has the
primary authority for supervising student publications
and to see that the provisions incorporated into this
policy and regulation are met and will, if necessary,
edit, remove, or revise the content to ensure
compliance therewith or for any other valid
pedagogical reason.
What should a solid policy
include:
First, note that all policies, no matter the
platform, should be consistent in wording and
intent.
Several models exist and each have plusses and
minuses. More on that soon.
All no matter their source, should be precisely
worded policies that protect all parties – as well
as protect student freedoms and encourage
journalistic responsibility.
Our recommendations:
• Statement of mission and journalistic principles
• Statement of forum status/prior review
• Role of the publication/media
• Role of the adviser/school system
• Rights and responsibilities of the student staff
• Who makes final decisions of all content
• Letters to the editor, advertisement policy, how to
handle death reporting, use of others’ images,
photo-manipulation
• Comments policy, takedown policy
What do we mean by a
forum?Closed forum
Limited forum
Designated open forum for student expression
Forums by policy/forums by practice
Do you know which type you are – and why?
Why is the designation important?
Hint: 2nd Circuit decision—Ithaca; Seattle; Dean and
Lange
New rule: ―designated public forum‖ & state clearly
that ―students make all final decisions of content‖
Takedown policy
Leave everything as is, if: the request is
designed to avoid embarrassment, image; truth;
credibility; no factual issue; historical record must
be maintained based on your mission.
Publish corrections, retractions or updates, if:
info is factually or legally deficient when
published; transparency of source inaccuracy;
provide context and perspective; clarify or
update; gray area solved by compromise.
Take down information, if: info is fabricated; to
protect sources; one-time reasons.

Role model
Wording to avoid:
“When questions
of good taste arise,
or those which
surpass social
norms of good taste
and decency, they
shall be resolved in
consultation with
the involved
reporter(s), the
managing editor,
the executive editor
and the advisers.”
“material not
generally
acceptable
to this
community”
or “significant
minority or the
majority of the
community.”
“To create a
wholesome
school spirit
and to support
the best
traditions of the
school;
“ The XXXXXX adviser and/or
editors have the right to deny
publication of any editorial,
column, review, or comment.”
Wording like
publication is “ an
open forum” but
superintendent has
final say, etc
Develop acceptable methods for
preserving the constitutional provision
for free speech.”
“material that endorses any
candidate for public office or
takes a political stand on any
issue.”

2014 editpolicyupdate

  • 1. Developing an editorial policy No matter what platform you use, the choice of an editorial policy can make or break your publication(s) – and consistency is highly recommended. What you select, and why, does make a difference
  • 2. Consider this policy: ―XXXX is created by the XXXX City Schools and published under the auspices of the Board of Education. XXXX is a curriculum taken for academic credit and has educational purposes as a regular classroom activity. No material shall be considered for publication that is libelous, obscene, profane, biased, prejudiced, unsuitable for its readers, or that defames character, encourages violation of laws or would cause disruption or material interference with the orderly operation and discipline of the school.‖
  • 3. Key words to note ―XXXX is created by the XXXX City Schools and published under the auspices of the Board of Education. XXXX is a curriculum taken for academic credit and has educational purposes as a regular classroom activity. No material shall be considered for publication that is libelous, obscene, profane, biased, prejudiced, unsuitable for its readers, or that defames character, encourages violation of laws or would cause disruption or material interference with the orderly operation and discipline of the school.‖
  • 4. Additional issues? The principal has the responsibility to monitor student verbal and written expression. Students who violate the standards for verbal and written expression will be subject to corrective action or discipline. The student publications instructor or adviser has the primary authority for supervising student publications and to see that the provisions incorporated into this policy and regulation are met and will, if necessary, edit, remove, or revise the content to ensure compliance therewith or for any other valid pedagogical reason.
  • 5. What should a solid policy include: First, note that all policies, no matter the platform, should be consistent in wording and intent. Several models exist and each have plusses and minuses. More on that soon. All no matter their source, should be precisely worded policies that protect all parties – as well as protect student freedoms and encourage journalistic responsibility.
  • 6. Our recommendations: • Statement of mission and journalistic principles • Statement of forum status/prior review • Role of the publication/media • Role of the adviser/school system • Rights and responsibilities of the student staff • Who makes final decisions of all content • Letters to the editor, advertisement policy, how to handle death reporting, use of others’ images, photo-manipulation • Comments policy, takedown policy
  • 7. What do we mean by a forum?Closed forum Limited forum Designated open forum for student expression Forums by policy/forums by practice Do you know which type you are – and why? Why is the designation important? Hint: 2nd Circuit decision—Ithaca; Seattle; Dean and Lange New rule: ―designated public forum‖ & state clearly that ―students make all final decisions of content‖
  • 8. Takedown policy Leave everything as is, if: the request is designed to avoid embarrassment, image; truth; credibility; no factual issue; historical record must be maintained based on your mission. Publish corrections, retractions or updates, if: info is factually or legally deficient when published; transparency of source inaccuracy; provide context and perspective; clarify or update; gray area solved by compromise. Take down information, if: info is fabricated; to protect sources; one-time reasons.
  • 9. Models to build from: JEA Model Guidelines http://jeasprc.org/wp- content/uploads/2009/10/jeamodeleditpolicy-2013.pdf JEA Digital Model Guidelines http://www.jeadigitalmedia.org/2011/07/11/schools- should-consider-collapsing-multiple-editorial-policies- into-one-media-policy/ SPLC Model Guidelines http://www.splc.org/knowyourrights/legalresearch.asp ?id=6 Each has plusses and minuses
