Journalism program changes, Chronicle does too
August 31, 2011 by mark
As the result of major changes in the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Journalism program, we will no longer be regularly producing The Kwantlen Chronicle in print or online. (Detailed information about our new program is available here.) This site, and the student work it contains, will be archived and maintained. We will also use this site, occasionally, for special publications produced as part of our students’ coursework.
That’s too bad. The KSA is having a referendum to combine all of their individual dedicated fees, including the student publication fee (which was initiated by student petition which resulted in a referendum passing to have the new fee implemented a few years ago) into one general fee. The KSA has spoken out about the Runner, which is produced through that publication fee, as the Runner has done its job and been critical of the KSA thru the stories it has published. Should the referendum pass, the KSA could move quickly to cut funding to the Runner which would result in no student press at Kwantlen.
