Student Press Freedom Day

This year’s Student Press Freedom Day theme, Resilience in Action, celebrates the ways that student journalists pivot, push forward and raise their voices  — even as censorship, intimidation and legal threats escalate. 

As communities seek clarity and trusted information, student journalism plays a critical role in shining a light on the truth and telling important stories that no one else is. Student journalists — and the advisers and educators who support them — uncover the facts and hold power to account. Student journalists show up. 

Student Press Freedom Day is a call to show up. It will take all of us — students, educators, advocates and community members alike — to ensure student journalists have the protections they need to continue their critical work. 

Join us on Thursday, Feb. 26, to amplify student journalism and stand up for press freedom.
