Lesser-Known Schools with Excellent Newspapers

<p>As a fan of dick tracy growing up, that’s awesome about OSU! John Kennedy Toole, the author of pulitzer prize winner The Confederacy of Dunces, did cartoons for Tulane in his day. Obviously and unfortunately he wasn’t recognized for his writing until years after his suicide. </p>

<p>One more final point about the frequency of Tulane’s paper. I believe the Hullabaloo was around 30+ pages or so for every issue back when I went there. I’m sure it’s still that size. I looked on TCU’s (great!) archival site about their paper ([Digital</a> Issues](<a href=“http://www.skiff.tcu.edu/pdfs/]Digital”>Digital Issues)). I found mostly 6-8 pages per paper. So at Tulane you don’t have a paper due every day to write for (ie more time to work on articles.) You still get to write as much because the issues that do come out are large enough for a weeks worth of articles. It the equivalent (work load wise) of a larger project due every Friday instead of homework due every day. The work load at the paper is about the same at both. You might prefer one or the other. So, schools that produce weekly’s are probably just producing larger print versions than their daily peers (on average) as far as I can tell. </p>

<p>And by the way, TCU’s method of archiving their old print versions of their papers and making them Digital Issues (PDF’s) online is amazing!!! I wish Tulane did that.</p>
