I get the same thing as you, Excitable. Not sure what the deal is, but maybe tomorrow it'll work.

Independence is a diversion from other issues that have historically not been dealt with by the paper. You can blame Todd Olson (or Juan Gonzales, Jim Donahue, Jack DeGioia, Bill Stott, ad infinitum) but the issue of strategic direction within a finite and declining (print) medium is an internal one. |

And that's on the shoulders of the Hoya BOD and Todd Olson. Apparently my sarcasm did not come across. I was just responding to what I felt was a somewhat unnecessarily disparaging remark by easyed. As for strategic direction with a declining medium, I think a new Web site (and this current one does not yet contain may of the features that will be added in the next month or so) will begin to address that. |

I like the new layout. I especially like scroling through the pdf of the whole issue.

You can blame Todd Olson (or Juan Gonzales, Jim Donahue, Jack DeGioia, Bill Stott, ad infinitum) but the issue of strategic direction within a finite and declining (print) medium is an internal one. A diversion from "other issues"? Like what, the lack of an improved Web site? Well, check that. Only this board would turn a positive -- that The Hoya has repaired its Web site after years of neglect (that print media is on the decline is all the better reason to have a good web site, no? -- though print advertising dollars are not declining on college campuses) -- into a negative. These lines from alums who are decades removed from working at the college newspaper are worth a chuckle, but they're also quite sad. This aversion to change, aversion to take risks, aversion to let the newspaper improve itself free of the constraints of the university media board (that won't let the newspaper spend its own money to buy a camera) is what has created a second-rate newspaper at a first-rate university. There are a handful of great college newspapers at universities that have no journalism programs, and these newspapers churn out graduates who go onto work at the nation's best newspapers. Aspiring Hoya journalists will always be at a permanent disadvantage so long as their newspaper is published by the university. |

I was on the Hoya as recently as last year, so I'm not quite decades-out. I am usually very positive about the Hoya. Compared to the toilet-paper-worthy rag that is the Voice, I love the Hoya. And I'm sure the website is better...I'll know for sure when Site Ground stops telling me something about a deactivated account. But really, I'd just love to see the Hoya thrive with the additional resources that would come with keeping its own money. The Voice doesn't deserve a dime of the Hoya's profits.
