Merging Two Things Against Better Judgement, Hop Scotch
After The City Collegian's adviser resigned on short notice from her position during the last school year, leaving the paper leaderless amidst a flurry of controversy about alleged restrictions of freedom of students' speech from the administration, things did not look good for Seattle Central's school newspaper. Yesterday the Seattle Times reported that the paper has officially stopped press, and if the Times says it, it must be for real. Our best wishes to the staff, and we hope the paper's up and running again soon.

Sad. The best and most important part of my j-school education was working on stories for the school rag. I was lucky to have a crusty old adviser who ran the place like a pro operation.
But that was olden times. If I were a young journalist in training these days, I'd skip college and start writing for whatever sites take me (like capitolhillseattle.com, for example :) ) or start my own. Cost is zero. The public replaces the crusty adviser.
Is this going around?
My alma mater's long-running, independently financed paper had its flagship office space taken away and got shunted to an tiny office this past year. In response they said fuck the school, got off-campus digs and went indy. Dunno how they'll fare under that mode.
