Posted in College Media, Journalism, Journalism Ethics, New Media, tagged College, College Football, Education, Joe Paterno, Penn State on January 22, 2012 | 1 Comment »
In a post shared this morning, Onward State founder and general manager Davis Shaver candidly explains how the Penn State student news outlet mistakenly reported Joe Paterno’s death prior to its actual occurrence. According to Shaver, the error seems to have been caused by a pair of deceitful happenings in rapid succession: a hoax email from a supposedly high-ranking PSU official and a dishonest Onward State reporter.

In a video report completed last night and shared moments ago, Daily Collegian staffer Kelley King asks students gathered at the statue of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno a single question: “If you could say one thing to Joe Paterno right now, what would it be?” The responses are especially touching amid word this morning that Paterno died overnight in the hospital.

Puppies! The word of the day within CMM’s recurring giggly headline feature is puppies, the cute young canines who evoke a smile and a belly laugh from all but the most animal-hating cynics. In a blog post header last month, The Diamondback fully embraced the spirit of a University of Maryland SGA event that brought dogs to cuddle with students to help curb finals stress. As the headline to the “Puppypalooza” preview piece reads repetitively, “The Puppies are Coming the Puppies are Coming the Puppies are Coming.”
A Student Editor’s 24-Hour Video Game Experiment
Posted in College Media, Journalism, New Media, Story Ideas, Student Newspaper, tagged College, Education, Media, Technology, Video Games on January 20, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Late last semester, Miles Parks decided to play video games for 24 hours straight. Or in his words, “I was going to sit and game and turn my cerebral cortex into applesauce.” The student at the University of Tampa (where I teach and advise), an admittedly light gamer, conducted the multi-player, multi-platform, multi-game experiment in part to better understand his many friends and classmates who “can sit down at one end of an evening and beat up bad guys until the sun rises.”

Texting and driving has made headlines in recent months. Sleep texting has even leapt onto the scene lately as a particularly curious phenomenon. But one other text-centric habit deserving of a spotlight has largely been ignored . . . until now. As the header to a recent commentary appearing in The Butler Collegian observes, “Texting and Walking Becomes a Nuisance.”

The Quad News, an online student news outlet at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University, went symbolically “dark” yesterday in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). While many college media pubs. wrote about yesterday’s wide-ranging web shutdowns, it appears the Quad News is the only student 0utlet to actually join the fight by also shutting down. [...]

A story published late last semester in The Technician at North Carolina State University recently leapt onto my radar for its focus on an odd bit of undergraduate research. An NCSU student apparently spent the semester studying the relative stress of students enrolled in a pair of biology classes . . . in part through their saliva. The Technician headline describes it simply as, “Measuring Stress Levels in Spit.”

A mega-popular art history course at Yale University has far less students enrolled this semester in part due to the professor’s desire to teach in a Wi-Fi-free lecture hall, according to a recent Yale Daily News report.

Three recent college newspaper reports crossed my radar this morning for their focus on different facets of students’ relationship with food while on campus. The buzzwords at the heart of the pieces– which appear in The Pitt News, The Arkansas Traveler, and The Daily Utah Chronicle– include vegetarian, allergies, and gluten-free.
Have You Checked Your School’s Fire Extinguishers Lately? (@GSUSignal)
Posted in College Media, Journalism, Story Ideas, Student Newspaper, tagged College, Education, Fire, Georgia State, Media on January 17, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
An interesting report worth emulating recently ran in The Signal at Georgia State University. The paper confirmed fire safety officer estimates that a quarter of the 7,000 fire extinguishers housed on campus are past due. As Signal staffer Tim Miller writes, “A spot check of fire extinguishers last week . . . in the parking garages and secluded areas of various buildings revealed expired extinguishers. . . . A more serious concern for administrators . . . is that students do not know where fire extinguishers are located or what to do in case of a fire.”
