The publications Board is the decision-making body of the newspaper which governs its day-to-day operation. The Voice staff has adopted the following editorial policy to express the rights, responsibilities and philosophy of this newspaper for the 2022-2023 school year. The Voice is an accessible public forum which provides information and entertainment in addition to various viewpoints on debatable issues in the form of editorials and columns. Funds for production come from advertising. Letters to the editor, guest columns and all material submitted for publication must include the writer’s name, signature and class or position. The Voice will not print anything in the newspaper that is deemed libelous, obscene or in poor taste, in accordance with the Supreme Court’s justified standards. Rights are reserved to postpone, edit or withhold from publication anything submitted which does not meet the specifications. The meaning of any submission will not be altered, but we reserve the right to correct spelling, grammar and punctuation when necessary. Additionally, The Voice refuses to print criticism which is not constructive and not supported by facts. The editors and adviser will make the final decision on all material appearing in The Voice. Letters should be addressed to the editor, taken to the Newspaper Room (123) and given to a member of the staff or to the Adviser. As an open forum, The Voice sells advertisements for publicity and to pay for newspaper related costs. The basic rate is twenty-five dollars per business card sized advertisement.
