The editors of Speculum, a student publication based at Macquarie University, have quit in protest against what they consider to be editorial interference by “U at MQ”, the student services organization that financed the paper.
Their decision to quit has gained considerable media attention, as any form of censorship will turn heads.
The former editors are claiming that U@MQ were making constant demands, screening every article and removing what they considered to be in bad taste.
This report from 2ser’s Nick Hollins begins with with Deirdre Anderson, the Chief Executive of U@MQ.
