<p>I recently received a copy in the mail a few days ago and I must say that I enjoyed reading through all of the articles. I also enjoyed the Ann Arbor and Sports sections, which give you a brief overview and history.</p>
<p>Anyways, how often does the Michigan Daily come out during the school year? And is it basically UofM's campus newspaper?</p>
<p>It's the Michigan DAILY.</p>
<p>It's the most popular campus publication.</p>
<p>well, since i got the 'new student edition 2006',
i guess the daily newspapers would be quite different. thanks.</p>
<p>Lol.</p>
<p>Does Michigan offer free major newspapers or anything like that? I know that at Cornell in the buildings they had the paper boxes where you could swipe your card and pick up a copy of NY Times or USA Today. If Michigan offered that it would be sweet. If not, do they have the boxes on campus?</p>
<p>Nope, sorry.</p>
<p>For schools that do offer the free newspaper service, I think somehow or another it's just part of the tuition. lol I always think like that.</p>
<p>How does one come to write for the Michigan Daily? Do you have to apply?</p>
<p>I really want to, but I'm not going to be an English or Journalism major. I hope it's still possible.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>You were impressed by the Daily? Personally, I think the University's publications aren't up to par, but that might be because it lacks a journalism major or school =[.</p>
<p>I know there are free Wall Street Journals in buildings like the School of Education and Ross. The Law School has a huge selection of papers.</p>
<p>Lots of people, in different majors, write for the Daily or any publication. For most publications, you attend a mass meeting at the beginning of the year. The Daily doesn't start you off writing. I think you kind of build up. I know someone who basically shadowed someone else his freshmen year. I write for the Review, which is run entirely differently. I would say a little more than half the people in the Review aren't interested in journalism as a career, but enjoy news, politics, reporting, and writing. So yeah, definitely not everyone who writes for a paper is interested in English or Journalism.</p>
<p>The paper doesn't have to be impressive for me to want to write for it. It is the most circulated paper at Michigan, so I want to be a part of it.</p>
<p>Thanks; I'll go to the mass meeting at the beginning of the year.</p>
<p>The Review's website tells me it is conservative and libertarian leaning. While I would love to interact with who hold those views, my (socially) liberal views would make it hard for me to write for, and move up in, an organization like the Review.</p>
<p>Anyone here on/write for the Daily?</p>
<p>The Daily comes out weekly in the summer, but otherwise it's....Daily, as has been said.</p>
<p>The Daily gets a lot of things wrong, so you gotta take its coverage with a grain of salt at times. I chalk that up to their rush to press and enthusiasm for "breaking" a story. That said, it's a nice way to know what is going on around here, and they've got some pretty smart people who gravitate towards working there.</p>
<p>They also tend to print lots of utter, utter crap as filler/to give people something to do.</p>
<p>E3W >>>>> Daily</p>
<p>Agreed, but I don't like the E3W either, even though it's a spin-off of the Review's Serpent's page (which I still find funny, and I promise, the only thing I'm overly biased about is how Michigan is the best school ever...which it is =P).</p>
<p>I very much enjoy the little parts about how old ladies slip on the ice and DPS or whatever were called. There were no suspects.</p>
<p>It's been about a decade since the E3W "spun off" from the Michigan Review, so you can stop always trying to take credit for it any time now...=P</p>
<p>I don't want to be credited with anything or anyone who has to do with the E3W at present. I was saying that the Serpent's page is much funnier (and classier) than the E3W even though the E3W grew out of it. Maybe they were more similar a decade ago.
<em>grumbles over still being mad at E3W for wasting paper and ink by printing a whole page green to make fun of the "Go Green" movement...oh America and consumer society...</em></p>
<p>The people at the Review are capable of writing something funny? I'm shocked. Christine, do you have a link to the page you're talking about?</p>
<p>Hey, the people at the Review as cool! And no I don't, probably due to my inability to navigate websites in general. However, I did re-read this article and I think one of our friends should take a freshman class just to live out its advice as the "cool older guy" and fail miserably at it (or else, not actually play out our scheme, as usual): Dont</a> Be On Time, Be On Michigan Time - News</p>
<p>Or, he could stalk out CC for prospective freshmen girls to advise. Get their screenname, yadda yadda yadda, you know how it goes...=P</p>
<p>brownflavors, so while I was reading my daily dose of news today (yeah, I'm a dork), here's information on joining the Daily (holy crap, I'm helping the indirect competition...well, I guess it's not direct competition...as a bi-weekly journal is different from a daily newspaper): The</a> Michigan Daily</p>
<p>And on a politically incorrect/correct (? I'm not even sure which is which anymore) note, holy crap, the Michigan Daily staff lacks "diversity," especially when it comes to gender. Not there's anything particularly right or wrong with that (attempting to stay away from politics), but haven't people noticed that Michigan has a fairly diverse population, and most people say they embrace diversity, but when you look at classes, clubs, organizations, and so on, people are pretty segregated by gender, race, etc.?</p>
<p>On the good news front, I semi-know like half the people on the Daily staff, so either I'm really well-connected (which I'm not...or I might be <em>shrug</em>) or the impersonal big school myth is truly a myth.</p>
<p>I found Serpent's on the internet, tetrahedr0n... (my goodness, I have nothing to do...)</p>
