Posted in College Media, Free Press Fights, Journalism, Student Newspaper, tagged College, Education, Free Press, Student Journalism, Technology on January 13, 2012 | 1 Comment »
It took a bit more than a week. It hovered around the edges of it over the last few days. And now it has officially become not just a saga but a full-blown soap opera. My suggested title: The Fired and the Tactless. The latest bit of news in the continuing story of ousted East Carolina University student media director Paul Isom is a public sparring between Isom and the school over his personnel records.
Student Press Stories I Love: The Pain, Pleasure and Rising Popularity of Body Modification (@RedandBlack)
Posted in College Media, Journalism, Story Ideas, Student Newspaper, tagged Journalism, Media, Piercing, Student Journalism, Tattoo on January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
A new report in The Red & Black at the University of Georgia highlights a growing movement among students and others that makes ear piercing and the basic forearm tattoo look like child’s play. Real body modification circa 2012 allows students to “test the waters and push the envelope.” As one student told Red & Black staffer Randy Schafer, “I found that it was not only a way to express myself, but it’s also technology in my body.”

Posted in College Media, Journalism, Student Newspaper, tagged College, Funny Headlines, Media, Newspapers, San Francisco State University, Student Journalism, Washington University in St. Louis on January 9, 2012 | 2 Comments »
On a recent website scan of The Golden Gate XPress, the student newspaper at San Francisco State University, a particularly intriguing headline caught my eye. As the header reads simply, “Naked Santas Attempt to Break World Record in San Francisco.” Sometimes the story itself makes the hed work easy. :) Kudos also for the lede: “San Francisco is a city with a penchant for public nudity. . . .”

One of the most prolific writers featured on the website of The Chronicle, Duke University’s student newspaper, is a gray-haired alum from the 1960s. Ed Rickards, a former journalist, is currently a full-time “Duke Checker.” Under that pseudonym (very recently switched from “Fact Checker”), Rickards, 69, runs “an increasingly popular blog that focuses on the governance of Duke and the scandals that occur on the university’s campus.”

Michael Koretzky is an inspiration, an admirable rabble-rouser, and an admitted journoterrorist. The Florida Atlantic University students who have worked with him at The University Press speak of him in reverential terms as a mix between Cronkite and Don King– trustworthy, with an intoxicating side of flash.

Administrators at the University of Utah have threatened to hold the academic records, transcripts, and degrees of nine soon-to-graduate senior staffers at The Daily Utah Chronicle.
