He also saw the injustice when some of the hard-working students were denied the right to publish what they discovered\, uncovered\, and wrote about. He and his colleagues stood ready to fight for them. \n  \nStudent journalists increasingly are stepping up to the plate to provide some of the state and local news coverage that some of the pared-down professional news organizations no longer can. But they don’t always have all the legal protections that professionals have come to rely on. LoMonte will take a look at: \n  \n\nwhat legal protections and remedies are available to student journalists.\nwhy they matter so greatly.\nhow state legislation can help keep journalism students and educators safe.\n\n\n\n\n\nDirections: Get directions to Delaware Law School\, 4601 Concord Pike\, Wilmington.\n\nParking: See campus map.
