Survey: Student Press Freedom

GSPA is partnering with the new First Amendment Clinic at the University of Georgia School of Law to learn more about your experiences as high school journalists and advisers to high school media publications. Our goal is to better understand the issues that high school journalists are, and are not, allowed to cover in their student media.

Please click here to take the brief survey.

We are asking for your help by inviting you to complete a short online survey. The survey has seven questions and will take only a few minutes to complete. The survey does not contain any questions that should cause you discomfort. Although you will not benefit directly from participating in this survey, this survey will help us better understand what being a high school journalist is like.

The survey is confidential. You will not be asked to give your name or to identify your school. The survey does include an option for you to provide your contact information if you would be willing to speak more in depth with one of us about your experiences. But this is purely at your option; it is not a required part of the survey. Additionally, when the results of the survey are compiled and presented, no one who completed the survey -- or who volunteered to talk with us more in-depth -- will be identified by name, email, school, or otherwise.

While we hope that you will take a few minutes to fill out the survey, you have no obligation to participate. Even after you complete the survey, you can withdraw your consent to participate by contacting Assistant Clinical Professor Clare Norins at cnorins@uga.edu or (706) 542-1419. If you do participate, please do so by yourself and allow fellow students or advisors to complete the survey independently. If you have any questions about this survey or your participation, please contact Professor Norins at the email or phone number listed above.
