[edit] Freedom From the Press?

"The relationship between a university and its student newspaper is typically one of give and take. Some of this professional courtesy, however, has fallen to the wayside at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

In response to numerous sweeping Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by The Daily Nebraskan, the university is now denying student reporters direct access to top administrators for interviews. All information and comment previously sought from these individuals must now be gathered from the institution’s public relations office."
