Page Two A Newspaper Checklist _ Webster says that a newspaper is a “paper printed and dis tributed ait stated intervals usually daily, weekly, or monthly to convey news, advocate opinion®, etc.” A newspaper is this and much moire. Webster, in his brief definition, tells nothing of the standard® a newspaper, especially a college newspaper, must set for itself to be successful. A newspaper conveys news.. This is most certainly true, but the most important factor is how the newspaper convey® news. Does, it priint stories that are “high schoolish” just to fill up space?

No one will want to read a newspaper that is ainiti-thiis and anti that. A reporter (should not risk the integrity of his newspaper by developing a satirical style at its expense.
