Topics include the true meaning of free speech, the importance of school newspaper competitions, and the right-wing radicalization of Lucy Cunningham-Schultz. Plus, an interview with Harm Venhuizen (@HarmVenhuizen), the outgoing editor-in-chief of the Calvin University student paper Chimes (@CalvinChimes), to talk ethics in collegiate journalism and beyond.
