Grantee Spotlight: Facing History & Ourselves
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Teachers learned how history could be used to provide context for current events at a March 15, 2011 workshop hosted by Facing History & Ourselves.
This workshop prepared Chicago Public Schools teachers to teach students from the Chicago area to understand the critical role that media and journalism play in their lives using the documentary Reporter as a teaching tool. Reporter is about award-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof and his work in the Congo. It demonstrates how and why reporting is vital to our democracy.
Later this summer, there will be another intensive two-day workshop for Facing History teachers to become part of a national network of teachers exploring ways to use digital technology.

Student Journalism Rights: Step by Step Toward Acceptance?
Monday, July 16, 2007
Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski signed a law last week that protects Oregon high school students and college journalists from censorship by school administrators and also gives students the right to sue their school if they feel their right to expression has been violated. Click here (http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007707130314 ) for a Statesman Journal (Salem, Ore.) story on the law detailing how:
+ The Oregon law is the country's first in more than a decade to protect high school journalists and the first ever to cover both high school and college journalists under one statute. (This new ruling adds to the list of six states that currently have laws protecting high school journalists from censorship; all were passed before 1996.)
+ A 2005 Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling (Hosty v. Carter) allowed college administrators to impose prior review and restraint on student newspapers if the publication is not a designated public forum for student expression. (This ruling covers three Midwestern states but has been cited by administrators nationwide to justify tightened controls over high school and college publications.)
+ According to the Student Press Law Center, a wave of similar laws is currently being pursued in other states (including Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey and Vermont).
+ Many student press advocates consider the law a victory – yet consider the final version somewhat watered down by amendments (including removal of a provision that would have allowed punishment for administrators that censor student publications, along with another that would have designated college publications public forums.)

Calling All Chicago High School Journalism Teachers....
Tuesday, May 08, 2007
Want to learn how to start a broadcast program or improve what you're already doing? Then Camp STN is for you. MTF is funding a four-day summer training (August 6-9, 2007) at Columbia College for high school journalism or broadcast teachers who want to learn the ins and outs of how to create a compelling scholastic broadcast program while still managing the classroom, dealing with the administration and community, and maintaining your sanity. The best part is that tuition is free and participants will receive a $100/day stipend and continuing education credits.
