When exercised in the spirit of Christian fellowship, responsible freedom of expression and debate of issues enhances the university community. Editors and producers are encouraged to express themselves freely within the parameters of the philosophy, standards, and mission statement of the university, which reads as follows: Grounded in Jesus Christ and dedicated to the beliefs of the Seventh- day Adventist Church, we equip students to embrace biblical truth, embody academic and professional excellence, and pursue Spirit-filled lives of service. Student media are the voices of both students and faculty, representing the visual and creative arts, both in print and non-print formats. The student media provide a marketplace of ideas in a university environment. Student media serve not only the current residents of the campus, but also document the culture and history of the institution. Student-produced Media Approved student-produced media on campus are the Festival Studios, av Accent, av Memories and Studio 4109. A description of these media is on file with this policy in the Student Services office. Faculty/staff Participation Faculty, staff and administrators are encouraged to participate in the marketplace of ideas as sources of accurate information, and as contributing writers. Their participation provides a balance. For student media to have credibility, it must accurately and fairly report the truth, set the record straight, and dispel rumor. Student Editors/Producers Responsibilities As with academic freedom, student freedom of expression is not without limits. Student editors/producers must act with balance and maturity guided by the highest ethical values. In addition, student producers and journalists are expected to abide by standards of accuracy, objectivity, and fairness. When questions arise, they are urged to seek advice from their respective media adviser. Copyright and Other Legalities Student editors/producers are expected to perform their duties in harmony with copyright and other laws governing print and visual production standards. They are expected to follow professional journalistic ethics such as respecting individual privacy, rejecting material that attacks or injures a persons reputation by false and malicious statements, and correcting errors of fact and perception. Legal Publisher av Adventist University is the legal publisher of all of the approved student-produced media. The Student Media Board 1. Responsibilities The purpose of the Student Media Board is to nurture effective student media and cultivate campus leaders who develop communication skills for the church and society.

Student Media Advisers Student editors/producers perform their duties under the guidance of faculty/staff advisers who are nominated by the Student Media Board and appointed by the university president. Advisers monitor adherence to the requirements of the Student Media Policy, and demonstrate a dedication to accuracy and fairness in student-produced media. If necessary, they have authority to direct revision of any questionable material. In Case of Content Disagreement In a case of unresolved conflict between an editor/producer and the media adviser regarding content, the adviser or the editor may submit the conflict to the Media Board. The content in question will not be published or produced until the decision is made. After hearing the issues relating to the conflict, the board will determine the outcome. Editors/producers can expect the board to address issues in a timely manner. In the case of an imminent production or last issue of the newspaper, the board chair will expedite a meeting of the board. It is understood that members of the board who have personal involvement in the content or individual under discussion will not participate in the final vote of the board. A student editor/producer must follow the decision of the board or face review by the board regarding continuation in his/her position. Student Editor/Producer Autonomy Because of their unique responsibilities, student editors/producers have a distinct autonomy from the Student Association executive officers. However, student-produced media receive their funding from the Student Association appropriation and are budgetarily responsible to the Student Association Finance Director and the Student Association Senate. The SA Senate also determines the stipends for student editors/producers. Student editors/producers are members of the Student Association Executive Cabinet.
