Join the Campus News family!

Campus News started a long time ago ­— maybe you were just a little kid when our first issue hit; maybe you were already an adult and now are a slightly older adult. Time is a funny thing.
In any case, yeah, we know, everyone says print newspapers are dead, but, then, how does this thing even exist?

We’ll tell you how ­— because we actually care about making Campus News. We care about the words and images on these pages, and we care about communicating with you. Each issue is a one-on-one communique specifically with you. That’s how this ancient form of communication works. It’s why it’s special.

Yeah, there are these things called smartphones. We here at Campus News use them too — too much, actually. Our screentime keeps going up, up, up!

But that doesn’t mean smartphones are the only way to be informed and entertained. There’s nothing wrong with also trying out other mediums, like newsprint — old can be new again.

In that regard, we have read the textbooks on what’s called Visual Culture, and we’re adapting Campus News to be aware of our changing literacy styles.

So stay with us as we revamp this thing over the 2023-24 school year!

Why Not Join Our Football Pick’em Contest?!
Go to pickem.bouncepass.com and join our weekly NFL Pick’em Contest by Sunday at noon. You can join any time. Each week will be judged separately. No special skill is required. Just pick 13 teams and if you beat everyone else that week, you’ll get a prize. You must have a .edu email address and be in our normal coverage area ­— in other words, if you picked up a physical copy of this paper and are a student, faculty or staff member at a college, you’re in! It’s free!

Our Photo Contests Are Back!
Take a photo of yourself with this issue of Campus News. We used to get dozens of these photos before the pandemic. We give out Broadway show tickets and other prizes to people who send us the most original photos. You can email your photo to editor@cccnews.info or text 518-879-0965.
