SNN's
Policies
Privacy policy
Any information that SNN collects
from students or teachers will only be used for the purposes
of the project. We may use your e-mail address or postal address
to send you information about upcoming issues of SNN or new activities.
But your name and personal information will not be sold or distributed
to any other group. To learn more about privacy and safety for
young people on the Web, we recommend that you read some of the
excellent resources offered by the Media
Awareness Network on its site.
Reporters' bylines
SNN's policy is to use a student's
full name, school and city or town at the top of their story.
That's known as a "byline" in the journalism world.
Many students have indicated that they would like to have their
work credited to them for use in their portfolios and on their
résumés. However, if you would prefer not to use
any or all of that information, please let us know and we will
change your byline accordingly. If you and your parents and teachers
would like to learn more about privacy and safety for young people
on the Web, we recommend that you read some of the excellent
resources offered by the Media
Awareness Network on its site.
Copyright for SNN articles
The copyright for all of the
stories that appear on SNN remains with the author. If you would
like to reprint a story that was originally published on this
site, please contact the SNN coordinator to arrange the necessary
permission.
Copyright
for SNN resources
We encourage teachers and students
to use any of the materials featured in the Reporter's
Toolbox and the In the Classroom
sections. Please feel free to print, photocopy and distribute
these materials in your classrooms and use them for educational
activities. However, we would ask that you give credit to SNN
when you use our materials. These materials are copyrighted and
cannot be reproduced for commercial purposes.
Image copyright
SNN uses a variety of photos,
logos, graphics and video segments on its sites. Most images
were created by SNN staff and reporters or gleaned from a registered
photo or graphic package such as Corel Clip Art or Kodak Photo
Collection.
When SNN uses images created
by other individuals and groups, SNN staff will request permission
from the appropriate group and give credit for the work. We encourage
student journalists to do the same if they send in photos or
images with a story.

policies, contact the SNN coordinator:
