Censorship & Prior Review Map
2007-2008

This map includes instances of censorship and prior review in high schools across the United States during the 2007-2008 school year.
We are working to make this map more interactive as well as adding new instances as they arise.

Please contact Audrey Wagstaff at Kent State University's Center for Scholastic Journalism with suggestions for additions to the map. She may be reached at awagstaf@kent.edu. Very shortly, we will have a form you may use to report your instances available from the Censor map pull-down menu on our Website.

Wendy Wallace of Poytner envisioned the concept of a visual method for tracking censorship and prior review.
John Bowen and Candace Perkins Bowen of Kent State University's School of Journalism & Mass Communication helped enable the creation of the map.
Funding for work on the map came from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
