“On a Sunday evening in early February, Daily Tar Heel staffers at the University of North Carolina were dealing with the usual stresses of a looming print deadline. And then the bomb dropped.

Dear Newseum, – On a recent trip to Washington D.C., I had pleasure of stopping by your museum of news for a visit. Two words: Loved it. Two more words: a lot. The exhibits are interactive.

Student Paper, Professor at Odds Over Catholic Indulgences
Posted in College Media, Journalism, Student Newspaper, tagged College Media, Journalism, Student Newspaper, Student Press on March 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Lariat, the student newspaper at Baylor University, editorialized recently against the reemergence of indulgences within Catholicism. (Being a non-Catholic, I went to a friend for guidance. The gist, as I understand it from her: Indulgences are actions large and small that eliminate or lessen punishments for past sins- apparently anything from praying and going [...]

In an interesting new post for MediaShift, Bryan Murley summarizes the bitter truthiness of the economic downturn for college newspapers.
