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:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
