Extra! News Blogs by Students Grab Eyeballs – Technology – The Chronicle of Higher Education via kwout
It is very refreshing to see a group of young impassioned students utilizing technology to not only challenge the established media outlets but also be reported on by those outlets. The Chronicle of Higher Learning article Scooped! Student News Blogs Challenge College Papers for Big Publication on Campus points to a group of 20 Penn State students who are using a Blog to report on the news on campus and also to challenge the existing college news paper that employs 200 student journalists. The lessons learned by this group will be extremely valuable. Lets hope the institution learns from this experience as well.
