UM: Michigan Daily

The online magazine Salon publishes a column by Anna Clark about a defamation lawsuit filed against The Michigan Daily by the Kitchener Rangers, a Canadian junior hockey team. Clark describes her own experience at the student newspaper, and of the quality journalistic it has produced. She writes that ”some student newspapers have proved that they are above and beyond the average. They come from a tradition of practicing professional journalism; as this lawsuit moves forward, they deserve to be treated like professional journalists. In a funny way, the plaintiffs in this defamation lawsuit are demonstrating that they, at least, take student journalism seriously.” [Source]
