Publisher

The primary obligation of EHS-hub is to create a quality publication to inform its readers about events in the school and community and of issue of national or international importance which directly or indirectly affect the school publication. EHS-hub, while serving as a training ground for future journalists as part of the school curriculum, recognizes all rights and responsibilities under the First Amendment and strives to establish and maintain standards outlined by the Society of Professional Journalists. EHS-hub is a public forum. Student editors apply professional standards and ethics for decision making as they take on the responsibility for content and production of the newspaper. While the student staff encourages constructive criticism of any part of the newspaper, authority for content rests in the hands of the student members of the newspaper staff. Students will not publish material considered to be legally unprotected speech, or libel, obscenity, material disruption of the school process, copyright infringement or unwarranted invasion of privacy. Letters to the editor are encouraged by students, faculty and the community and should be sent to ehs_hub@rsdmo.org. Letters must be signed but names can be withheld upon request. Letters must not exceed 250 words, and EHS-hub reserves the right to reject, edit or shorten as necessary. Opinions expressed on the editorial page do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints or official policies of the school administration. All editorials (unsigned) represent a majority opinion of the Editorial Board. Members of the Editorial Board include all staff editors. Signed editorials, columns, editorial cartoons and reviews reflect the views of the author and not those of the editorial board. EHS-hub reserves the right to refuse any business which seeks to advertise any product which is illegal or generally considered unhealthy or undesirable for students as determined by the Editorial Board. EHS-hub may choose to publish public service ads at the discretion of the Editorial Board. EHS-hub will print political ads which comply with federal, state and local campaign laws. EHS-hub is a member of Sponsors of School Publications of Greater St. Louis, the Journalism Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association.
