Nearing the end

This semester really flew by. Somehow we went from week 2 to week 12 and are 7 days away from May 1.

How accessible is the print newspaper?

Like I talked about last week, I love print media but definitely think the print newspaper warrants a more in depth discussion on not only its future but its accessibility.

The future of The Stute’s print distribution

It’s no secret that I love print media. I would rather read a physical book than an eBook, and the idea of flipping through a magazine on the beach is still as exciting to me now as it was when I was 11 years old reading Tiger Beat and Bop (who remembers those?)

Book review — Mark Levin’s Unfreedom of the Press

Last year, around the beginning of the pandemic, I started reading for pleasure. I began with some classic novels, like Frankenstein, The Bell Jar, and the 900-page Anna Karenina which all made me hooked on the world of fiction.

If you haven’t already noticed, I like talking about ethics — in writing, but also during Stute meetings. Mostly because in my time as a member of The Stute, we haven’t talked much about ethics at all, and I feel like 80% of the times we mess up are because of ethical situations we weren’t prepared for.

Media ethics: Knowing what to do

In media and journalism, ethics are important but tricky to understand.

Activism vs. Journalism

For the past several months I’ve been trying to understand the difference between activism and journalism, or rather, if there even is a difference that exists.
