When the opinion editors of the Wall Street Journal examined post-Palin polls, they found youth support for McCain mired at a dismal 33%, exactly where it was before he picked Palin as his veep.
They then wrote up these findings in a 750-word article titled “Palin’s Entry Gives GOP Ticket Shot at Capturing Youth Vote.”
Well played, WSJ.
An interesting background piece from the First Amendment Center on the organizational relationship between student newspapers and campus administrators. The piece gives particular attention to the trend toward student papers organizing themselves as non-profit corporations independent of the universitites they cover.
Back in May, we reported on an online survey that Mother Jones magazine was conducting on contemporary student activism. (At the time, we noted that the survey’s title, “Are Today’s Student Activists Lazy?”, seemed oddly hostile to student organizing.)
Well, it’s back-to-school time, and the survey results have been posted, along with a cartoon guide to the varieties of present-day campus activists and a handful of other sidebars.
We’ll be posting an annotation of their “Student Activism Firsts” timeline later this week, and we’re interested in hearing your thoughts on that and the rest of the feature — feel free to post them here, or in the comments section over there.
