"Protecting Student Journalists
Protects All Journalists"
Guest Frank LoMonte, lawyer & press freedom advocate
Interview date: July 11, 2017
Podcast runtime: 30 mins
Frank LoMonte is a writer, lawyer, and former professional journalist. Most importantly, he served as Executive Director of the Student Press Law Center for nine years preserving a student's right to freedom of speech.
When I spoke to Frank in 2017, he was moving into his fresh new office at the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications (you can hear the echo from the bare walls) to serve as director of the Joseph L. Brechner Center for Freedom of Information. We discussed New Voices, which he launched at SPLC. He further enlightened me about Hazelwood, the landmark 1988 U.S. Supreme Court case that did damage to press freedom by removing protections for student journalists.
