The death of (student) print?
I came across an interesting article about students circumventing alleged censorship of their student paper by moving it online and running it independently, and did a post about it on the Random Animal blog:
A group of students in Fairbault, MN (about an hour south of Minneapolis) were told by their superintendent that they could not run an investigative piece about an instructor until he first approved it. The students refused, citing journalistic freedoms. The superintendent responded by shutting down the paper.
Luckily the owner of a web site that hosts student publications has donated server space to the disenfranchised student journalists. In addition to being able to operate without potential censorship, they also cite additional benefits, such as more frequent updates and additional content sections.
