I’d rather see the current student media produce experimental projects. But if the student newspaper isn’t going to step forward, perhaps it’s time for more online media products. College is a time for experimentation, pushing the boundaries, discovering new things and not being afraid of failure (it’s a lot less costly to fail in college than it is after graduation).

The Tennessee Journalist is the brainchild of UT journalism professor Dr. Jim Stovall, who also started the online-only student publication Dateline Alabama — now merged with The Tuscaloosa News — back in 2000. It was also the site that prompted my love of online media.
