Tag: student journalist

I am a student at Washington State University, a university that is not even ten miles away from the recent homicides of four students from the University of Idaho. As a journalist, and managing editor of the school paper, I have covered this story ever since WSU sent an alert to its students: “Moscow Police Department investigating homicide near University of Idaho campus. Not aware of any threat to the WSU Pullman Community.” But as a student, I was terrified.

Student journalists at an Idaho college owned by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints allegedly felt pressured not to publish stories about an ongoing controversy regarding their school's refusal to accept Medicaid, according to a leaked audio recording of a student newspaper editorial meeting.
