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.

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.
