Abstract
This study examines the relationship between American high school journalists’ First Amendment rights and the quality of work those student journalists produce. Based on a survey of National Scholastic Press Association members, this research shows that there is a positive relationship between student press freedom and publication quality for both newspapers and yearbooks. It also shows relationships between publication quality and other factors, including the a school’s attitude toward student press freedom, state student free expression laws, and adviser experience.
