The Chicago Tribune chronicled the ups and downs faced by local high school papers in an article published today. Like the professional newsrooms they model, high school papers face daily struggles, over content disputes, economic hardships and of course, the occasional pissed-off reader (or in this case, parent).

Scripps Director “optimistic” about future of journalism
Posted in Journalism Stuff on April 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Today (thanks in large part to Twitter) I stumbled on a blog post authored at the end of March by Tom Hodson, the director of Ohio University’s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, one of the country’s premiere journalism schools, and coincidentally, the place I’ll be calling home for the next three years.
The post addresses the [...]

Rough Week for College Press
