Behind the press: Evergreen at risk from budget cuts Cuts across campus - REBECCA WHITE and MADISON JACKSON, Daily Evergreen

After generations of operating as a daily paper, the student-run, independent Daily Evergreen could be cut to two days a week following high budget projections that would drain our entire reserves. Like many other departments across campus, Student Media’s budget is tight. While the official deficit projection is still uncertain, in an email Student Media Director Richard Miller sent Friday evening, the working deficit is $156,000. We have $136,00 in reserves. Unless a new source of revenue is found, it is impossible to maintain the Evergreen’s current level of operation. Student Media cannot spend $156,000 and survive the next year. Throughout the years, we have relied on advertisement revenue to sustain what Services and Activities fees cannot. https://dailyevergreen.com/23499/behind-the-press/behind-the-press-evergreen-at-risk-from-budget-cuts/
