Back to School

As you prepare for the upcoming school year, confidently practice bold journalism and brave student press freedom advocacy knowing that the Student Press Law Center always has your back.

On Sept. 16, 2025, we hosted a State of the Student Press briefing to discuss some of the most pressing issues for student journalists this year. You can watch the briefing here.

We’ve also compiled some of our key tips, tools, policies, legal guides and more to help you smoothly transition into the school year. And don’t forget, you can contact SPLC’s Legal Hotline any time for help with all your media law needs.
