Hofstra University j-student extraordinaire Kelly Glista wrote a post-mortem for CMM about her experience covering the final presidential debate and election night in real time with the team at Hofstra’s NewsHub, a convergence-tastic newsroom-classroom. (Here’s a video about its unveiling.) Three new media maxims emerged to me on first reading: Take the leap and learn as [...]

Posted in College Media, Journalism, Student Newspaper, tagged College Journalism, College Media, Fight Club, Student Media, Student Newspaper, Texas Tech, The Daily Toreador on November 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
“No referee. No ring. No crying. . . . Some fought. But most were content to watch.” The Daily Toreador at Texas Tech University scored an interesting feature scoop recently with a piece on the formation of a student “Fight Club,” a (mostly) anything-goes boxing-and-wrestling-type hand-to-hand combat popularized in the eponymous film with Brad Pitt.

A chaste scoop has prompted major buzz around The Quadrangle student newspaper at Manhattan College. According to The New York Times, a recent front-page piece outlining the school president’s support for a student abstinence organization received three times the normal traffic on the paper’s Web site and briefly became the talk of the campus. According to [...]

As a blogger focused on Student Journalism 2.0 (or even 3.0! Click here), the two most common words I type into posts: new media. We’re all focused on the impact and uncertainty that the latest technology and tools hath wrought on the industry. A bit of news brought to my attention by BU Today at Boston University allows [...]

First, just for fun, an announcement: I pen this post from Hong Kong, meaning I have now blogged about college media while in four countries (HK, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore). I write this in the spirit of The Poynter Institute’s esteemed Al Tompkins, who notes with a smile at the start of a How to Vlog video he [...]

I’m starting the latest post in purple, in honor of the newest entrant into NYU’s collegemediatopia: NYU Local, “a 24 hour website about the school and the city that we call home.” According to a MediaShift post by the one and only Alana Taylor, it came into being two months ago, as an [...]

I recently gmail-chatted with Bryan Murley, the director of the Center for Innovation in College Media, about the good, bad, and ugly sides of the continued success of the college *print* newspaper specifically. The discussion came at his request, partially as a follow-up to my recent posts about college print papers’ (at least temporary) invulnerability to the [...]

Posted in College Media, Future of Journalism, Journalism, New Media, tagged ABC News, College Media, College Yearbook, Facebook, Lori Brooks, Online Journalism, Student Journalism, Student Media, University of Oklahoma on November 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
According to its supporters, the college yearbook is about “making history” and having “your life encapsulated in pages that are always readable.” Circa 2008, these pages of life are dying. As CMM reported in September, the traditional print college yearbook is becoming a thing of the past. The University of Texas student media director recently [...]

Virginia is gearing up to be an Election Day battleground between McCain and Obama, but endorsements from college newspapers in the state are basically nonexistent. As The Charlottesville Daily Progress reported, papers at the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, James Madison, and Liberty University will not be publicly supporting either presidential candidate with an official editorial [...]

Posted in College Media, Journalism, Magazine Journalism, New Media, tagged College Journalism, College Media, Jerk Magazine, New Media, Newhouse, Student Magazine, Syracuse University on November 3, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Jerk. Zipped. Schmooze. Verbal Seduction. Titles of just a few of the lucky 13 student magazines currently publishing online or in print at Syracuse University. 20 Watts is a quarterly music mag. What the Health, Healthy You, Black Voice, and The Out Crowd are somewhat self-explanatory. My favorite on spec: Jerk, a “magazine [...]
