College is sometimes the stepchild of education reporters.
Reared in covering kindergarten through high school, our education writers and editors often are simply more comfortable in the world of local school board politics, new curricula, the distribution of public education dollars, the dynamics of parents and teachers, and the fads and fashions of daily student life. Most colleges are outside our circulation areas, so we're not in the pipeline for their press releases, and, frankly, we're already way too busy covering what's happening in town to go looking for news elsewhere. But there are times when being able to make fast connections with distant universities surely would make newsroom life easier. He is the darkest of dark horses. It would be so helpful if you could see the stories from the most recent issues of that school's student newspaper.
