Buchtelite suspends publication
Former BJ and PD editor Roger Mezger, The Buchtelite advisor, announced that the 125-year-old University of Akron student newspaper has suspended its twice-weekly publication.
Staff members are leaving faster than they can be replaced, Roger writes. The student newspaper faces the same challenge of being relevant in a digital age as the BJ and the PD, both of which have undergone draconian changes and massive layoffs.
