Needs Assessment
Over the past two years, affordable legal protection has been encumbered by California
legislation which has cut public funds by 17-billion dollars (CTA, 2010); furthermore, public
colleges have been cut by 2.8 billion dollars, and community school districts that include public
colleges have been cut by another 32 billion (Galuszka, 2009). Imposing even more financial
hardship, the California University system will be cut by another 3.5 billion dollars, and more
cuts are foreseeable (Naftali, 2010). These diminishing funds in education are affecting the legal
protection and defense that stockholders of the educational press require so as to maintain the
functional equipment and environment that they share with students and other professionals.
Aware that their reports maybe misunderstood, writers, reporters, and lecturers are seeking
adequate legal protection. When publicity and quality editorials are assessed erroneously,
accomplished educators are unable to be compensated for their excellent performance because
they must protect themselves from costly judgments. The professional press should be able to
address all sides of an issue; however, some individuals maintain philosophies, policies, and
notions that others interpret as bias, perspectives that impede the rights of the stockholders of
educational publications.
Unless stockholders of educational publications are able to file charges of unfair labor
practices with the National Labor Relations Board, for example, they will continue to remain
victims of education cuts. Legal defense includes proper representation with county BAR
associations, superior courts, and supreme courts, needs that should not be stalled by those who
regard advancing education goals as illusive and arduous (Gay & LaBonte, 2003). To complicate
the misfortunes attributed to state budget cuts and unaffordable legal defense, stockholders of
international learning institutions abroad that achieve greater numbers of college graduates
(Wilson, 2010). The Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management recognizes that the
quality of teachers has declined—students with high verbal and math achievement levels are no
Since the publishers, editors, design and production crews have learned that the Berkeley
Daily Californian went entirely online, everyone ever involved in Newman Hall’s stages of
journalism and publishing has been concerned about overall marketing, online predators, and
overall security. A very startling realization is undermining the value of journalistic ethics,
educational publications, that which is newsworthy, and the education essential to these needs.
Until these stockholders are able to maintain all the evidence and support that they need from
pertinent labor unions, legislators, and the court system, they will continue to remain victims of
fraud and harassment by those who cater to their own personal interests; therefore, they must
