My College Paper Colud Barely Cover The College
-
Ann Arbor's local daily newspaper died a decade ago. It lives on, a shadow, as a part of the Mlive.com statewide website and a twice-weekly paper, but it's not what it used to be. And so, the only daily paper, tasked with covering all the local news it can, is the University of Michigan's student newspaper, the Michigan Daily. This is at a time when colleges are cutting back on their papers. It's a good thing the Daily is aggressively doing local journalism, but if you don't see the danger in having to rely on a college newspaper for covering local issues and politics, you don't understand the place of journalism in society.
