West Virginia Governor Jim Justice signs Student Journalist Press Freedom Protection Act
On March 23, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice signed the Student Journalist Press Freedom Protection Act. As a result, WV has become the 17th state to adopt this type of legislation, which is known nationally as a "New Voices" law. Further, the law ensures that high school and college student journalists determine the content published in school-sponsored media.
