of the publications, the review and approval
process, distribution of publications, printing

Personal
computers, various software programs ad photocopiers
may enable individuals to bypass the use of
the Media Services Work Order Form for the
production of flyers, brochures, newsletters,
news releases, posters, pamphlets, invitations,
booklets, etc. All publications to be distributed
to the public must be submitted to the Public
Information Officer to be reviewed for accuracy,
clarity, and marketing value. |

Student
publications such as student yearbooks, newspapers,
literary magazines, and other periodicals
may be published as sufficient student interest
develops. Southwestern Community College supports
a free student press and expects all student
publications to uphold the highest level of
journalistic responsibility and integrity
and to comply with all applicable state and
federal laws. Faculty and staff advisors of
student organizations offer guidance to student
editors ad ensure their understanding of the
rights and responsibilities commensurate with
a free press. It is the responsibility of
the editor ad staff to follow good journalistic
practice:
| • |
To
seek out the facts and to have a reliable
source for the facts printed. |
| • |
To
represent the facts clearly and fairly. |
| • |
To
deal with issues and not with personalities. |
| • |
To
maintain a dignified, judicious, and
positive approach to problematic issues. |
| • |
To
differentiate between fact and critical
judgment and to confine critical judgment
to editorial writing, clearly identified
as such. |
Opinions
expressed and editorial content are responsibility
of the student organization sponsoring a publication
and not the responsibility of Southwestern
Community College. The college Educational
Support Committee shall respond to matters
of significant controversy. |
