 Role of the Bucknellian Adviser
All editorial and design decisions regarding The Bucknellian are made by the student staff; the adviser provides counsel, direction and criticism on matters of good journalistic practices and on managerial and fiscal practices. He helps train students to write in a journalistic style by providing workshops and by evaluating each issue of The Bucknellian after publication. He meets regularly with the editorial staff to talk about any issues of concern regarding the paper. The adviser does not see the newspaper before it appears in the newsstands. The adviser also gives advice on journalistic ethics and about First Amendment issues and is an advocate for the students’ rights of free expression, while also emphasizing the responsibilities implicit in that freedom.
