Student Media
The Spectrum is the official student newspaper of Lawrence Academy.
Discontinued in 2007, the Lacademy Sun, a student-run, on-campus newspaper, was founded following concerns in 2004 that students were afforded few avenues through which to express concerns. The initial goal of the Lacademy Sun's editorial board was to provide students an open venue in which to discuss school policies; the paper's editorial policy remained laissez-faire through the last issue. Contributors often, though not always, published pseudonymously and anonymously.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or media:
“It is not easy to imagine how little interested a scientist usually is in the work of any other, with the possible exception of the teacher who backs him or the student who honors him.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
