Will the City Collegian publish again?
Many years ago I worked for the Seattle Central Community College newspaper, The City Collegian. I’m sad to see that the paper has stopped publishing, but surprised to see that budget cuts and lack of interest aren’t the reason for the shutdown. It does sound as if the paper stepped on someone’s toes.
The administration are being awfully clueless:
“For now, administrators point to other student publications as options for students who want to work as reporters. Seattle Central student government publishes an online newsletter with details of happenings on campus, Mansfield said.
“And last week, that same group of student leaders put out the first edition of a Seattle Central Zine.”
Oooh, a student government newsletter, vetted by the administration. Yeah, that’s exciting journalism.
I hope the Collegian is back operating as an independent (that is, school-sponsored but not school-controlled) entity as soon as possible.
