College newspapers promote growth and learning. If you help them, it will ultimately help the industry. When someone turns you down for a job or leaves your newspaper, don't just erase his or her name off the blackboard. If that journalist considers you a trusted former boss or co-worker, it will be a big plus for your newsroom. Chances are he or she is talking to friends and will put in a good word about you and your newspaper.
People talk, and it's a small, small world in journalism.
