"I didn't care if people stole the newspaper. I just wanted them to read it."

That was Brad Warthen's best line from his interview on the radio last night.

He was discussing what motivated him while at The State, and he had this line to make the point that he didn't care if his opinions pleased the newspaper's advertisers or not. He didn't write things or take positions to try and sell newspapers. He just wanted to be read. (I can relate to that in a way.)

I thought that was the best line of the program.

UGA Students Walk Out In Protest

The students who run the student newspaper at UGA have walked out in protest and have started a blog.

The Red & Black’s student editor-in-chief, Polina Marinova, along with other top student editors and staff members, walked out after Ed Morales, who had been the paper’s editorial adviser and then became editorial director, was given full editorial control of the newspaper.

Good for them. I primarily use newspapers to help light charcoal, anyway.

I was reading the newspaper in Omaha the morning after the Gamecocks beat the Gators in the 2012 College World Series, and I saw that the Clemson Tigers had made it to Omaha also. Congratulations, Clemson!
