Censorship & Prior Review Map

This map includes instances of censorship and prior review in high schools across the United States during the 2006-2007 school year.
It also includes relevant Supreme Court cases related to student speech.
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.

Wendy Wallace of The Poynter Institute 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.
