X-ray Editorial Policy

The X-ray functions under the Illinois Speech Rights of Student Journalists Act (HB 5902). This bill recognizes the right to free speech of student journalists in the state of Illinois, as well as protects the editorial choices of student journalists. The X-ray understands that this bill does not protect hate speech. The X-ray also publishes under the District 303 Board Policy on School-Sponsored Media in High School (Section 7:315).

The X-ray publishes content under six sections: news, features, opinion, in-depth, entertainment and sports.  Readers are welcome to comment on our stories, but we do not publish any comments to be seen by the public. Due to the fact that if we published the positive comments we receive, we would also have to publish the negative comments we receive.
