<p>The only reason the papers didn’t update was because of Thanksgiving. Otherwise they publish every week. As someone who wrote for The Justice for four years, I can tell you that the weekly schedule can feel like an intense daily experience. Also when there are big developments as in the President resigning and the new President being announced, there were breaking articles published, even during the summer. The weekly schedule I think is really an ideal timeline if you want to get in to journalism in college with other commitments, you can flexibly commit as much time as you feel comfortable with. You can just cover day stories/events, or you can make an effort, cover articles that involve talking to numerous professors/students during the week, attending weekly student senate meetings that can stretch or Brandeis faculty meetings or contributing to breaking news coverage of a major university announcement regarding the Rose Art Museum that became public at 5 pm the night of publication. And just to be fair, The Hoot actually did add multiple articles this week. It was a slightly unusual week with a developing story taking place Friday morning. Now that I go to a school that has a daily paper, I don’t not appreciate it, but I do notice how it significantly thinner each day, whereas Brandeis there was on average a lot of news to cover. Brandeis also has a good track record with journalism schools. At least six people I know who have recently graduated (including myself) who worked on each student newspaper or who worked in student government have gone on to prestigious journalism schools such as Medill and Columbia. The editor-in-chief of The Justice my freshman year now works for Politico. Guy Raz of NPR is also a Brandeis graduate.
