Thanks to online media, journalism (the profession) is rapidly changing. And on April 20th, Journalism (the building next to Furnald) will be changing as well, renamed “Pulitzer Hall” after Joseph Pulitzer, the early 20th century newspaper magnate who championed sensationalist yellow journalism and funded the creation of both the Pulitzer Prize and Columbia’s J-school, the […]
In attendance at the CUCR Town Hall, where all the juicy details surrounding the biggest second–biggest outrage to hit Columbia in a fortnight are being dished out right now—are four participants, including two press people.

Be on the lookout for the February issue of The Blue & White, coming to campus this week.

Just as spring break is beginning to reveal itself, so, too, are the lawns—six five weeks after Groundhog Day. Coincidence, conspiracy, or completely meaningless counting error? You decide, though it certainly hasn’t felt like winter the past couple weeks. Facilities is pulling back the tarps, right as it’s beginning to heat up—highs of 58 expected today, with temperatures […]
Columbia, Barnard, and Teacher’s College support staff are protesting today, right now, just north of the gates. UAW 2110’s contracts come up for review this year, and the University is asking for cuts, which the unions do not wish to grant.

From 12 to 2 pm, head to the Lerner Piano Lounge for Midterms Study Break—Serious Games, a stress break with free sushi, music, and “pwn-ware” procured from the depths of JJ’s Place. Expect board games and Gamecubes, and maybe even a foosball table. Also, “ambient-dance worthy music.”
Romney may have convinced GOP voters as he “won” Super Tuesday by the slimmest of margins, but he still needs to convince those that matter most: the elite media pundits. (USA Today, LA Times) Rush Limbaugh has now lost 34 advertisers, and, more worringly, the other Rush. (USA Today, WP) Don’t like your hard work marginalized […]
Because commenting on comments isn’t meta enough, PrezBo and DSpar have released a third statement to Spec regarding the Obamanard fallout.

For your midterm procrastination pleasure, we present the latest in artistic stylings, where the magical and the mundane collide. You know the drill: make us laugh, make us cry, make us forget about that eight page essay we haven’t started outlining yet. Last round’s contest provided some interesting results, with perhaps the most…unique being the […]
Need we say more? We’re doubtful, but will continue nonetheless. Tonight at 8 pm in Hamilton 602, the one and only Eric Foner will be doling out “Words of Wisdom” to the class of 2012 over some Baked By Melissa cupcakes.
