Student Media

All student media shall be staffed with well-qualified, responsible student leaders and staff members who shall present the news in a balanced manner that follows the best practices of print and broadcast journalism. Student editors are selected by representatives of the Student Media Advisory Board, which shall advise editors on budget processes, production matters, staffing issues, legal questions, and any other topic that ensures the quality of student news and compliance with legal matters that protect the University from libel. The Student Media Handbook shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis, which is done by the Board. The Fall Line Review (the campus literary magazine) and The Statement (the student newspaper), are staffed by student editors who are free to select the materials to be published without undue criticism or pressure; The Fall Line Review shall have a faculty advisor who works with the student editors and the Board, with the advisor typically a member if the English or Media, Culture, and the Arts Department. The Statement shall have a faculty advisor who works with the student editors and the Board, with the advisor typically a member of the Media, Culture, and the Arts Department. The KnighTVision, television training lab, is not, as such, an open forum; all materials to be aired and/or posted on the website are subject to the review of the Student Media Advisor and/or its faculty advisor.
