The Chronicle: Students at Cedarville U. Suspend Newspaper to Protest Censorship

Editors of the student newspaper at Cedarville University, a Baptist institution in Ohio, opted to suspend publication of the semester’s final issue on Thursday to protest tightening censorship by the administration.

“Because of the increasing amount of pressure to print only specific things, the editors decided not to print a last issue,” said Rebecca High, a graduating senior and editor of the newspaper’s Viewpoints section.
