Pitch Editorial Policy

Cedar Crest College is committed to the concept of free expression of ideas in accordance with the Cedar Crest College Honor Code. As a recognized student publication, Pitch is a forum of free expression and a participant in the uninhibited, open presentation of ideas. Content will reflect areas of student interest, including ideas and presentation formats that may arouse controversy. The administrators of Cedar Crest College entrust student authors and artists with the right to submit and the responsibility to select the content of current and forthcoming publications without prior restraint from college administrators.

Pitch aims to cultivate discussion and creative freedom within the Cedar Crest College community. While open to all subject matter, all sensitive content will have warnings marked if published. In the pursuit of inclusion and diversity and the promotion and encouragement of the student content creators, Pitch will accept submissions in other languages, vernaculars, and styles. At the creator's request, we may publish work anonymously or under a pseudonym. Creators retain the copyrights to their work. Any work submitted may be subject to revision and editing if necessary.

All submissions are reviewed and, if accepted, are published on a schedule set by the editorial board. The copyright for published work remains with the author.
