Answer:
When it comes to a school newspaper, students should have some basic rights and accept certain responsibilities that come along with these rights.
A student newspaper should not be from the perspective from the administration and faculty of the school. It should be the voice of the student body. The students, therefore, should have the freedom to write about the things that are most important to them.
This is, of course, the basic premise of a school newspaper and a newspaper club. With modern technology, many things get posted on social media quicker than they can be placed in a newspaper, making some aspects of reporting irrelevant—but only if you believe that everything posted on social media has been checked, validated, and researched.
RIGHT TO EDITORIALIZE
By this, students should be able to express their opinions. This doesn’t mean that they have the right to say anything, but that they can, in a respectful manner, give their opinions even when those opinions may not be universally accepted. Outside of defamation, vulgarity, and obscenity students should be able to give their opinions.
