I don't know why, but this paper always appealed to me when I was in college. I've heard nothing but praise for it, and the stuff I've read has always been top-notch.

 

i've also heard the editor is one cool lady. was friends with a guy who worked with her at another stop.

 

The editor is a guy.
But I heard the previous editor (a female) was a total bitch who would scream at staff members in front of the entire newsroom.
