Mr. Connolly and ACC newspaper notes

Mr. Connolly came a while ago -
What I found most interesting was the stories that he covered and mentioned:
He talked about exposes on ACC's website, and that because of the newspaper salary information about the campus was publicized, which made people angry, and that the ignored safety aspect of the website was fixed because of a story that presented itself.
He also had us read a narrative story on the survivors of Katrina.
There was a woman named Sarah who also came to present, and she talked about her paper's spread page, which was called "bar shots" or something, and that, even though she hated it, it made up for a good portion of her profits.
He highlighted the change in first amendment rights that he had to pay special attention to now that he was running a paper out of college.
He also stressed that newspaper was not dying.
He talked about some tactics for bringing in an audience- their website front page had an advertised video game section, he said his hope was that people came to the website for the video game section, but eventually merged over to other parts of the paper.
He talked for a little while about the financial running of the paper - that all published authors received a stipend and that editors were paid pretty well.
It was interesting to hear from him.
