College Newspapers Broke, Also
Howard University has completely stopped publication of its daily student newspaper, The Hilltop, after finding out that it owed $48,000 to its printer. Now the staff is pissed about the publishing suspension, the administration is pissed about the money, and both are wondering how the paper managed to lose $20,000 from its account for no apparent reason. These accounting shenanigans surprise me not one bit, because Howard University has been sending me bills for money I don't owe for the past seven years or so. Stop harassing me and maybe you'll have better luck with the paper! It's all karma. [Black College Wire via Romenesko]
