A new and cheering venture: the Student Free Press Association . “Run by veteran journalists for the benefit of beginning journalists,” according to its website, the SFPA is “is an individual membership organization of college-aged writers, bloggers, tweeters, podcasters, and viral video makers” that “aspires to become an excellent source of higher-education news.” Among the impressive list of mentors are William McGurn and Michael Barone.
And among the subjects taken up on the home page as I write are Obama’s hold over college students, University of Missouri professors’ political commitments, Harvard’s stem cell work, the availability of synthetic marijuana, Notre Dame’s actions against those who protested the president’s visit, and articles about life on campus, like the adjustment of veterans to life on campus.
