Budget cuts threaten college's student newspaper - Associated Press

Salt Lake Community College's student newspaper may have to fold because of budget cuts. The state Board of Regents on Thursday approved the school Student Fee Board's recommendation to cut The Globe's funding allocation by half. The action, which was part of statewide changes to higher education student fees, will mean a total decrease of about $20,000 in funding for the newspaper. Allison Barlow Hess of Utah's Society of Professional Journalists criticized the move, saying student journalists need the experience of running a newspaper at the college level.
