Onward State: A New Model for Independent Student Media?

The Chronicle for Higher Education has a video interview up with Davis Shaver, the founder of OnwardState.com – a new(ish) news(ish) site covering Penn State University. Like the idea of a “journalism fraternity,” may have to steal that line.

The Setting Sun of Las Vegas

It’s a little odd that Flash Goddess Mindy McAdams tweeted a link to this story about the rise and fall of the Las Vegas Sun while I’m in, of all places, Las Vegas. Worth a read.
