UT campus pub smackdown


Thought for the day: Lose your institutional memory in order to remember what you're doing

Pat Thornton, a Web content editor at Stars and Stripes, compares two University of Tennessee journalism efforts. See how they fared.

If there was ever a place for journalists to take risks and try things that may not work, it should be in college media. College is the perfect time for failure.
We hope with passing grades.

Jack,

I appreciate the things the blogger had to say about the Tennessee Journalist, but I have to take issue with the idea that's we're in a fight with the UT Daily Beacon.

We're not. The campus newspaper still has a big role to play in educating journalism students. We're just doing something different.

No fights. All peace and love.
