A state Senate committee unanimously passed New Voices legislation that would protect student journalists’ free speech rights in the Great Lakes State.
Before voting 5-0 on Senate Bill 848 on Tuesday, state senators on the Committee on Judiciary heard testimony in support of New Voices legislation that would protect student journalists’ right to free speech and of the press in school-sponsored media, regardless of whether the school pays for the publication or the media is produced as part of a class. The bill would apply to public schools and public higher education institutions in the state.
