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.
