I discovered most of the people who work for the Daily are very concerned with the quality of the newspaper they publish. They work hard to make this paper the best it can be. They are certainly more concerned than any other non-newspaper person could be. Many of the writers have daily deadlines they have to meet. Many of the editors spend their free time not at home, but in the newsroom.
Many editors arrive early in the morning and stay late at night to turn out their product.
They often only leave to attend class, and cannot call in sick if they feel like staying home. A few lucky students get up at 5 a.m. to deliver the paper across Ames. Every school day, they go across campus and make their deliveries so you can do the crossword puzzle when your instructor is trying to give a lecture. The Iowa State Daily is a student-run newspaper that not only informs the public of Ames, but also provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn how to be good journalists. It is run by students.
