Louisiana Voice

The mainstream media tend to shy away from stories like the one below because too many supporters of athletic programs at our universities wield undue influence over what is written.

Not so LouisianaVoice. We don’t accept advertising, so we’re not beholden to any corporate entity or wealthy donor.

For years, Louisiana Tech University has managed to keep a tight lid on its censorship of the student newspaper, The Tech Talk. The publication was closed down by administrators after dogged coverage of on-campus sexual assaults in 2019 and 2020 embarrassed administrators.

Attempts to manage the news are the reasons for sexual assault coverup scandals at places like Cornell and LSU and for the decisions of district attorneys in places like Bossier and Lincoln parishes to not pursue charges against perpetrators of felonies–stories that LouisianaVoice is not afraid to publish.

If you like what we do, I humbly ask that you consider supporting our efforts with a contribution to our October fundraiser. We only come to you twice a year, in April and October, and don’t ask for a lot–just enough to meet our modest expenses for the year.

With full understanding and appreciation for the tough financial times we’re in, thanks to unwise choices by corrupt politicians in Washington, I ask that you contribute only if you feel you’re in a position to do so. I’m not like the televangelist who insists you should give even if you cannot afford it. That’s pure greed.
