The Mass Media Returns
The new Mass Media is out on the stands and up on the web.
Taking another brief break to run down the articles, before hoping back to work. Next week is looking just as crazy, even though I'll be sitting out the Board of Trustees meeting on February 4th. It's in New Bedford, on the UMass Dartmouth campus, and there's absolutely nothing that runs out to there. The T is building something, but unless it's completed by Wednesday morning...
But that's just as well, I guess. It's not like I'm short for stories.
First up in the new issue we've got an online exclusive: Interim UMass President comes to UMass Boston, which happened way back on December 12. The article, done since early December, was held up because of some trouble with the pictures, and the confusion of packing up and readying for the move into the brand-new Campus Center. But it's up there now, in its 2,000 word glory. While a bit dated, it's still got some interesting stuff, I think.
An article on the continuing search for a UMass President. The Daily Collegian over at UMass Amherst had a very good article on the search, confirming that the interim president is indeed a candidate: "Wilson's term is not necessarily coming to an end, as he was nominated to take the permanent position."
Earlier this month I got to tag along to a State House reception for UMass alumni who work in the State House. The result is this article on alumni relations, which leads with an interview I managed several weeks later to get with the senate president, in who's breathtaking office the reception was held.
The move to the new Campus Center has been delayed.
And because I didn't have enough time to write it out as a full article, the slight increase in student charges is written up under News Briefs.
Also in News Briefs is an interview with the former student senate president, who's currently in Oxford. He commented on student issues over there. And on the student press, which I didn't get a chance to add in: He rates the Oxford campus papers, of which there are two, as "excellent," adding, "if new york times is 10 on the journal scale...one of the papers is a 6."
"whats neat..is because of britain's proximity and oxford's diversity of high-caliber students..they interviewed several students directly affected by the iraqi situation," he said.
SEE ALSO: The Daily Free Press stopped by the press conference MassPIRG yesterday had on campus, on the ridiculous pricing of books.
