Student newspapers often exist in semi-obscurity. But they are often the only media to provide news coverage of a campus on an ongoing basis. Glendale College's student newspaper is the El Vaquero. We will take a look at it in class.

Questions...

•What stories in this issue will probably only appear in the El Vaquero because they are GCC specific?

•What ads in the paper are directed at the GCC student?

•What skills are the students on the paper developing, and how can they be put to use in the world beyond newspapers?

•What should a student newspaper do? What can it do to appeal to young adults who do not usually read newspapers?
