When reflecting on Free Speech Week and the protections of the First Amendment, it's easy to overlook the youngest members of the press: the student journalists based in our country's high schools, colleges and universities. While these young journalists may not be facing the exact same threats as their adult counterparts, there are serious threats to the student press, and the current anti-press environment has only made things worse. But luckily for students across America, the Student Press Law Center is ready to assist young journalists no matter their legal or ethical predicament.

"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." For centuries, these words have protected the right of every American to express themselves and allowed the free press to flourish. At a time when these ideals are being tested and questioned — perhaps more than ever before — it is important that we reflect on where we are and where we are going in the face of the vast technological changes that are impacting our press and our democratic systems, especially the rise of the big tech platforms and their role in making editorial decisions previously delegated to newspaper publishers.

A free press is essential to our democracy. Communities everywhere rely on journalists to report on our government's actions and hold public figures accountable, providing us with the information we need to make decisions every day. Unfortunately, attacks on journalists in the United States are becoming more common, undermining the media's role and creating opportunities for government overreach, the erosion of press freedom, and impeding our right to be informed. Ahead of the mid-term elections, run these ads, produced by Reporters Without Borders, which call on citizens to ask their candidates running for Congress how they plan to #defendpressfreedom. Ads are available in full-page and quarter-page for print, and as a digital cube. Click here to download the ads. For more information visit www.defendpressfreedom.com.

The brand campaign comes at a time when anti-press rhetoric is on the rise and news organizations, particularly at the local level, are depleting.

In 2016, The Independent ceased its print subscription model and went online only. Since then, it has given online readers the choice of watching ads for content, registering a free account or subscribing to its Daily Edition app — until recently that is.
Launched in September, Independent Minds is the latest tier in the subscription model and editor Christian Broughton said it promises a mixed bag of rewards for readers stumping up their cash after reflecting on past models, rather than acting as a strict paywall.

Three large regional news publishing companies in the U.K. executed a coordinated public condemnation in June against what they saw as the British government's preferential treatment of the south in its handling of a national rail crisis.
Fueled by a sense of outrage over massive train cancellations and delays, the publishers put aside years of historic competition and came together around the #onenorth campaign, simultaneously publishing front page stories and a joint editorial in approximately two dozen papers.

"I don't have the answer to the future of news," said Megan Lucero, director of the Bureau Local, speaking at News Impact Summit Cardiff.

"Binge-watch" and "The New York Times" might not immediately seem to go together. But this week the paper launched the second season of Conception, an animated video series aimed at parents, and binge-watching a few episodes is in fact exactly what the team hopes you'll do.
Each of the six episodes of the second season of Conception is about four minutes long and focuses on the trickiness of parenting in 2018.
