Students battle Spectator’s online shift
Members of the editorial staff of The Spectator, the campus newspaper of the Mississippi University for Women, are fighting to keep their newspaper’s print edition after MUW faculty decided to move the newspaper exclusively online.
Cutbacks instituted by the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning led each department at the university to make a 5 percent cut back in expenditures. The communications department chose to eliminate the print copy of The Spectator, moving the paper from the newsstand to the Internet.
