Laws and Ethics

We will take notes on Broadcast Journalism Law/Ethics

1. What are the 5 freedoms of the 1st amendment?
Speech
Press
Religion
Assembly
Petition the Government

2. What is the Tinker Standard?
Student speech cannot be censored as long as it does not "materially disrupt class work or involve substantial disorder or invasion rights of others."


3. What is the Frasier Standard?
Because school officials have an "intrest in teaching students the boundaries of soially appropriate behavior," they can censor student speech that is vulgar or indecent, even if it does not cause a "material or substantial disruption."


4. What is the Hazelwood Standard?
Censorship of school-sponsored student expression is permissible when school officials can show that it is "reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns."


5. What is the Frederick Standard?
Had a sign saying "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." If it goes against school ethics you can get in trouble.

6. What is the definition of libel?
It has to be false, must be printed, broadcasted, slander is spoke. It needs to defame someone's character.
