Cereal & Critiques |
Late Night Zanies
Come gather children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Michael Koretsky (Florida Atlantic University) and a wacky band of cigar chomping, cereal munching insomniacs at the DC Convention gathered for a late, late night round of critiques, cereal, poker and comaraderie. Great fun at the 2007 DC Convention. This link carries you to a slide show of the event. |

The rule of three
By David Swartzlander
Research Committee Chair
Reporters are expected to use multiple sources. The more controversial or complex the story, the argument goes, the more likely that multiple sources will be used.
That’s the premise behind the reasoning that student journalists should pursue more than one source for their stories. In one-source stories, readers see the world through the eyes of one person, the pages of one document, the philosophy of one Web site.
With multiple sources, student journalists can show their readers differing viewpoints and, perhaps, get closer to the veracity of an issue.
That’s why for years I’ve told my basic news writing and reporting students to include at least three sources in every story.
Why three? I’m not sure, but I heard or read somewhere that three is a magical number of sources in stories. I suppose that’s another research project – determine the origin of The Rule of Three. Perhaps the idea is that you get one side, then the other side, then a neutral source to try to make sense of the arguments about an issue.

Censorship on college campuses still an issue
By Roger Soenksen
Media Law Committee Chair
Each year it seems the number of incidents of censorship increases on college campuses across the United States. In this article, I will summarize a few of the situations faced by the college press during the last academic year. The purpose of this information is to help you anticipate and prepare responses if such actions occur on your campus in the upcoming academic year.
Article censored by president
The newspaper for Flagler College, a private college in Florida, witnessed the president pulling the newspaper, The Gargoyle, from the newspaper racks in September 2006 and had it reprinted after it carried a faulty headline.
The paper had published a story with the headline, “Campus Growth Forces Tuition Hike,” which co-Editor-in-Chief Glenn Judah admitted was a mistake. The story described how tuition rates would rise in the future because of the growth of the college, but an actual hike had not been decided.
“We should have had the chance to fix our own mistake instead of [the university] taking the authority away from us,” Judah said at the time.

College Media Review: Coping with Change |

Change is the only constant
FROM THE CURRENT ISSUE OF COLLEGE MEDIA REVIEW: How can campus newspapers change their frequency of publication or downsize their format and never miss a beat?
These questions are addressed by veteran advisers Dan Williams and Kelley Callaway.
Also in College Media Review: research articles by Lillian Lodge Kopenhaver and Ron Spielberger on a topic near and dear to all -- the payroll. Dan Reimold ponders the assertion that ink stains are so last century.
