Students and The Simpsonian

Oldest college newspaper of The United States, The Simpsonian offers news on a weekly basis to students. With a large variety of articles, the newspaper covers all happenings on campus. 

However, some students believe the newspaper is biased, used by the administration as a marketing tool to attract prospective students. 

Editors , on their side, fight every day to have more freedom in their coverage, and ask for more transparency to help students understand how the administration works and where their money goes!

The newspaper is looking for a change: reducing the number of pages, and focusing more on their online content. But what do students want to see in The Simpsonian? Are they really reading the newspaper? The answer is here: 


So students want to see pictures, read gossip, and have fun with comic strips. But some of them still want to read about the increasing cost of tuition (that will be a subject of one video), sports of course, finances, and arts. 

However, they think The Simpsonian is boring, too classy, and doesn't necessarily take students' opinions into consideration.

The Simpsonian is, above anything else, the students' newspaper, and it is their only opportunity to really express their disagreement (or content sometimes) to the people in charge. 

In order to evolve, The Simpsonian should reflect more students' life, ask them what they want to see and read, and should allow them to participate more often. LIKE WE DO!
