The End Is Near
For college newspapers across the country, the academic year is wrapping up and in the words of the great Bob Dylan, “…the times, they are a changing.”
As editors and staff move on to whatever is next and leadership roles are filled by new people there is a passing of information.
A lot of what you’ll be doing will stay the same. A lot of what you do will get better. A lot of what you do won’t be fully appreciated by your readers, but we the inky-fingered members of collegiate newspapers are a unique militia of information.
Older and Experiecned Staffers: this is a good time to put that last little tid-bit out there for the newbies to learn.
Younger Inexperienced Staffers: this is a good time to ask some questions.
And we’re not going anywhere.
So leave your thoughts as comments to this post.
(Also, tell your staff, all of them, to sign up for College Newsroom. We’d appreciate, seeing as we’re not much without our members!)

Very very true words.
inky fingers are the worst.
For you all who are leaving and moving on in life from your paper don’t forget where you started. Remember the good times and the bad. But, remember the relationships you made here and take them with you.
”…To them and their posterity do we commit our future…”
