Fees for student newspaper withheld

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:30:55 PDT
Officials at Wichita State University have appointed a task force to review the operations of the school’s student newspaper, claiming The Sunflower suffers from sloppy journalism. They also have put a hold on the $155,000 in student fees the newspaper is scheduled to receive next year — about half of its operating budget — until the task force has completed its mission. That move is attracting the criticism of college-press advocates, who say the public university is violating the newspaper’s

Senate Tries To Roll Back FCC Ownership Rules; Apparently Still Hasn't Heard Of The Internet

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:31:24 PDT
Late last year, the FCC decided to relax media ownership rules in a really minor way. Basically, with the FCC ruling, a newspaper could purchase an also-ran TV station. It could only buy a station that wasn't in the top 4 in the market. Yet, this got people up in arms over some nefarious "media consolidation" claims. Yet, these claims make no sense. There are more media outlets than ever before in history, and there are more ways and more sources to get your news from than ever before in history

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:51:54 PDT
Food is scarce enough in Haiti, Indonesia and Afghanistan to cause rioting in those countries. Food is expensive enough everywhere, including the U.S., to cause consumers to worry about the future.

My mum at 77 is a member of social networking sites such as Linked In...my nephew who is 21 has not heard of Facebook! What I do think we can look at, are the trends in society that are
