Griffin Policy Statement

The Winged Messenger, the student newspaper at Lincoln-Way East High School, is committed to bringing news about the school, community and important current events to the student body of Lincoln-Way East High School and its surrounding community.

The Winged Messenger is a form of public relations for the school and community. The staff will make an effort to cover as many student sports/activities as possible. They cannot guarantee to cover all sports or activities equally.

The newspaper is written and produced by Lincoln-Way East students in conjunction with their advisors.

To best serve their readers, staff members will strive for work of the highest quality.

Members of The Winged Messenger understand that they are to never knowingly mock, ridicule, or invade the privacy of another individual or group.

The Lincoln-Way East Administration, as well as the newspaper advisor, has the final say in what is published. The administration reserves the right to edit selection and content of materials intended for publication.
