– College Media Villains, 2010-2011 – Over the past academic year, a small number of school officials, outside individuals, and even an A-list celebrity negatively impacted collegemediatopia– or at least deigned to try. Their complaints, backroom dealings or outright censorship have left a sour taste in the mouths of student journalists and their supporters. First up [...]

Student journalists at Florida Atlantic University are in the midst of a grand experiment in good ol’-fashioned journalism. Through some funding from The Society of Professional Journalists and under the direction of beloved-former-adviser-forever-guru Michael Koretzky, staffers at The University Press are putting out an issue sans Internet, computers or high-tech tools of any kind.

Early last year, I began writing about The AUIS Voice, the first independent student newspaper in post-Saddam Iraq. Started by a scrappy band of Iraqi students and an impassioned ex-Washington Post reporter, the Voice’s spirit of innovation is ironically its adherence to the oldest principles of the craft: objectivity, editorial freedom, and the search for truth (rarities among Iraqi media).

Posted in College Media, Journalism, Student Newspaper, tagged American Indian, California State University Long Beach, Daily 49er, Native American, Student Newspaper on March 22, 2011 | 56 Comments »
A student newspaper at California State University, Long Beach, is apologizing for running a negative commentary on a recent American Indian campus event that was “construed by many as an assault” on Native American culture. In the article, headlined “Pow Wow Wow Yippee Yo Yippy Yay,” the campus editor of The Union Weekly espoused an unflattering view toward a campus Pow Wow. He equated the annual cultural event staged by the school’s American Indian Studies program and American Indian Student Council with a “large, Native American themed flea market.”

Hundreds of copies of a student newspaper’s sex issue quickly went missing last month from newsstands across campus. Editors suspect their disappearance was due to an organized theft carried out in response to racier-than-usual material. As the Student Press Law Center reports, The Ottawa Campus is the biweekly student paper at Ottawa University in Kansas, a conservative private school boasting a “Christ-centered community of grace which integrates faith, learning and life.

Antiquated. Curmudgeonly. Doomed. Lauren Rabaino uses a number of words to describe student journalism circa 2011– innovative, awesome, and digitally aware are not among them. In a recent blog post/rant, the standout young journalist and designer extraordinaire waxes pessimistic about the current state of college media.

Student media censorship is a many-speckled beast. Straight-up rejection of content by misguided overseers is the most iconic, well-known tactic, but it is far from the most common. The work of most censors is much more subtle, indirect, and clouded enough to enable the content-restricters to claim no wrongdoing at all. – The Chart was [...]

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. The reason: A series of editorials run in the newspaper’s goodbye issue that had a bit of less-than-subtle vulgarity squeezed into their otherwise innocuous words. – As the SPLC reports, [...]
