"alternative newspapers specialize in things that mainstream papers do poorly" 141

My question is: Is Eye Contact our alternative newspaper? The Setonian is more of a general newspaper, whereas Contact focuses only on types of art. But it doesn't cover news, it just showcases student artwork, sort of like a gallery showing on paper.

The alternative newspaper is meant to bring a different perspective to campus issues. However, I think that considering the size of our campus, there would be a lot of redundant material. if we were a bigger school, there would obviously be a lot more content and more oppourtunities for different spins on issues.

My sister's college has a newspaper for several different departments. She writes for the theater newspaper, contributing occasionally to the A &E section of the principal paper. But she goes to a state school, so tens of thousands of students attend it.

Personally, I would love to see an Onion-esque humor publication on campus.

I don't have that much to say about advertising, except this: why don't we have a classified section where students could take out low-cost ads to sell books and find potential off-campus roomates? I bet students would be interested.
