Stories like this make me feel so LUCKY to have gone to both a high school and a university with excellent, nationally recognized publications. I learned more about writing, design, inter-office politics, management issues and how to balance a busy life than I had in class up to those points in my life. I am who I am today because of student journalism, more than perhaps anything except my parents. My school (The University of Virginia - Wahoowa) is going through a change right now moving to digital distribution and less frequent daily issues. I think they team is doing a great job from the little I have heard as an alum, but I would miss the feeling and pressures that we went through when I was there.
