I have a press pass and I know how to use it!

Have you, as a teenage journalist, ever found yourself arguing with school administrators in a desperate plea to publish a controversial piece of work? Have you ever felt like the entire faculty was against you, forcing you to believe that you were a lone crusader? If this situation does apply to you, then so does the Student Press Law Center. The SPLC is a non-profit group that takes pride in assisting young journalists by highlighting certain rights and privileges. This site allows confused teens to submit questions and replies with personalized responses and advice. You can also check out what your particular state will put up with when it comes to the student media. Perhaps the most surprising and crucial element of this site is the feature that will connect you to real lawyers who will work with you and your newstaff when it comes to legal matters. All for free. And who said that all lawyers were bad?
