Welcome to the new home of Friends of The Spoke

The organization dedicated to defending the rights of student journalists at The Spoke, and nationwide, now has a new home. Welcome to the new Web site of Friends of The Spoke.

The site was re-designed to recognize our new role — after the district changed its proposal that would have led to censorship of The Spoke (click "History" for more), the organization is now focused on defending The Spoke by keeping the community informed of the latest news at the paper, and making our resources available to student journalists nationwide who are facing censorship.

Among the changes:
  • A new design that makes it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.
  • Read more about "who we are" and our goals.
  • Read details about the organization's history and read old news stories about the campaign.
  • Spoke alumni can now be more connected than ever to what's going on back at their old paper with "latest news."
  • An expanded special reports section details other special coverage and photo galleries.
  • An updated awards section.
  • Fan us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
  • And, our biggest change: students whose newspaper is facing censorship can easily get to dedicated pages filled with resources about our campaign.
The new Web site is a work in progress, and we hope to roll out new features in the coming months. If you have any comments, concerns or ideas, please e-mail us.

Best,
