Student Press Headlines That Make Me Giggle #6
Posted in College Media, Journalism, Story Ideas, Student Newspaper, tagged College, Education, Media, NC State, Technology on January 18, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
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 new column in The Daily Emerald at the University of Oregon carries a truism in its headline that we can all agree with. As the hed to the great tongue-in-cheek piece by McKenna Brown notes, “A guy’s beer says a lot about him.”

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.”

Sleep Texting a Growing Phenomenon Among Students
Posted in College Media, Journalism, Story Ideas, Student Newspaper, tagged College, Media, Sleep, Students, Technology, Texting on January 13, 2012 | 2 Comments »
While they sleep, some students snore. Some dream. And a growing number text. Sleep texting has recently become a phenomenon worthy of attention in student and professional press circles. It has joined sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, and old-fashioned nightmares as one of the more common things that occur while undergrads and others are grabbing some shuteye.

Doug Brown, the enterprise reporter for The Daily Kent Stater at Kent State University, is the most famous student journalist so far in 2012.

Awake at 1:11 a.m.? Read The Columbia Daily Spectator
Posted in College Media, Journalism, New Media, Student Newspaper, tagged Blog, College, Columbia, Education, Media, Technology on January 12, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The One Eleven, part of The Columbia Daily Spectator’s “Spectrum” blog network, is built atop students’ penchants for being awake at all hours and forever web browsing to avoid schoolwork. Each morning, at exactly 1:11 a.m., overseer Stephen Snowder provides a recap of the world in quick bits, sometimes serious and sometimes wacky. It appears to exist as the sarcastic younger brother of College Daybreak, a daily email breaking down world events in similarly easy-to-digest chunks.
Student Press Story Headlines That Make Me Giggle #4

The winner of today’s edition of this lighthearted all-in-good-fun giggly headline feature serves up an important reminder about an action we will all carry out a few gazillion times before death. A mid-December piece in The Daily Campus at UCONN reminds readers, simply, “Breathe In and Breathe Out.” (As the sub-hed and subsequent article reveal, the angle being hinted at in the hed is actually student stress reduction.)
Student Press Story Headlines That Make Me Giggle #3

Given Rick Santorum’s recent out-of-nowhere (and ultimately temporary) emergence as a top tier GOP 2012 presidential candidate, the student press puns mocking his were inevitable. One headline I just came across on KentWired.com, tjhe The Kent State Daily News, just prior to the New Hampshire primary, seemingly says its all. As the opinion column on the former Pennsylvania senator notes, “Santorum likes to be on top.”

The Certificate will be granted to students who complete a set of courses specifically targeted to “skills in interactive journalism, video editing, blogging and design software.” A glimpse at the course offerings confirms it involves a sampling or two from most of those listed areas.
