Facing the threat of closure, two small Iowa towns' local newspapers, Mount Vernon-Lisbon Sun and the Solon Economist, have found a lifeline in the form of an unexpected solution: transferring ownership to the University of Iowa's student paper, The Daily Iowan. This innovative approach marks a new trend in the journalism industry, offering hope for sustaining small-town papers in the face of declining advertising revenue and digital media dominance. The collaboration not only provides financial support but also brings in fresh perspectives and technological skills, while offering students valuable real-world experience in rural journalism.
The editor of Middle Tennessee State University's student newspaper, MTSU Sidelines, resigned after facing backlash and "unprecedented feedback" from students over a profile article about a student concerned for friends in Israel. The editorial board published a statement that the editor disagreed with, leading to his resignation. The editor cited concerns of antisemitism playing a role in the events and expressed a commitment to speaking out about important issues. The newspaper denies silencing the editor and states that the article was retracted before a meeting with the editorial board. The incident follows a similar controversy at Yale University involving the editing of a pro-Israel column.
