"It was fairly surprising," said Adam Gaffney, editor of Flashings."Originally, our adviser told us to start working on Flashings.We had signs up in the school, and we made announcements for the first staff meeting.Then, the day of the first meeting, the adviser was told that he would no longer be the adviser, and therefore, the meeting that day had to be canceled."

Gaffney said that interim principal Lottie Taylor-Northover did not give the newspaper staff a reason for halting the newspaper.

According to Gaffney, Taylor-Northover said Flashingswould be replaced by another publication.

Gaffney said the staff's primary concern is to regain an uncensored student newspaper.

"Students have a voice in [ Flashings]," Gaffney said."Without a free press, students are left without any kind of forum.It gives a chance for students to give their opinion on what's going on."
