As far as doing what "the bosses" say, every once in awhile, the paper would come into conflict with the university or ASI over some story and the paper always stuck to its guns. As far as writing about bad teachers, the problem is that the paper is open to libel lawsuits. |
I just finished reading
"Future of Poly Post in Doubt article. Never knew Cal Poly editors (students) and staff writer gets paid for their article. I thought students were writing the article & part of the university newspaper department to build experience and to prove on their resume.
Rather than publishing the paper newspaper once in two weeks, why not once in a month? I've seen piles of newspaper left and untouched on the stand. Imagine how much newspaper are recycled per week.
Hopefully, by mid-spring and summer, major national companies will start advertising on the Poly Post newspaper. I can't imagine a university without a newspaper circulation.
