In fourth grade, Amina Elahi’s teacher gave her a journal and told her simply, “You write very barebones.

The dining halls at Syracuse University are at long last deliciously free of student press censorship. A report in the SU’s Daily Orange (via Paper Trails) confirms the reversal of a long-held policy by the school’s Food Services allowing distribution of only the Orange in student dining halls. Food Services staffers did not have a problem with competing pubs, [...]

More than 30 students at the University of Minnesota spent the past semester in FLUX. They created a printerrific, Webtastic class project on steroids, documenting the changing nature of the modern American dream via a full-color magazine and accompanying Web site. – – As a letter from editor in chief Katie Pelton shares: – If [...]

Journalism neophytes and dedicated students take heart, all hope is not lost. Yes, jobs may be shedding. Predictions of demise may be looming. As you talk about your journalism passions, your parents’ eyes may be rolling. But with the right training, and a stint in Paris (OK, and a Harvard degree), you too might be [...]
Should Marijuana Column Stay or Get Off The Pot?

A marijuana-themed column chiseled together by an admitted student stoner since fall 2008 in The Tufts Observer has the magazine’s public editor (journalistically) paranoid about the precedent. – “Going Green,” a column about pot, potheads, pot culture, and the pot legalization fight, is a regular Observer feature, written by a Tufts student using the pseudonym Reggie Hubbard and [...]

A recent survey on college students’ favorite brands revealed a surprising entry atop the magazine pile: Not People or Cosmo or Glamour or SI. Instead, Time, a purveyor of (mostly) serious news with only a dash of sports, fashion, and celebrity thrown in. —————- What can student journalists learn from their peers’ apparently unmatched love [...]

The student newspaper, magazine, yearbook, and broadcast news outlet at Indiana’s Franklin College have merged and converged into a single “comprehensive media experience.” Yes, I think that description is a bit hokey too, but the idea behind the new all-in-one Web site, The Franklin Online, does raise an interesting question: Is there value in having student journalists at [...]
‘Jerk’ Just One of Many Student Mags at Syracuse
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 [...]
Better RED Than Dead?

It will focus on “everything college life.” RED, a new, ambitious general-interest student magazine has launched at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with the promise, “You haven’t read a magazine until you’ve read RED.” The founders pitch RED as a “central publication to the university.” They aim to fill a niche, ironically, by focusing [...]
