The ''(CU Independent )'' is the student-run news publication for the University of Colorado Boulder. It has been digital-only since 2006, when it became one of the first major college newspapers to drop its print edition.〔("The Campus Press in cyberspace," ''Inside CU,'' March 13, 2007 )〕 The website has a staff of about 60 students serving as editors, reporters and photographers. Most are journalism majors, but students from other majors also contribute. The students update the online edition with new content at least once a day during the fall and spring semesters. The website serves both desktop and laptop computers as well as smartphones and other mobile devices. There are about 20 section editors who assign stories to reporters and work with the visual staff to produce photographs, videos and graphics. A managing editor and an editor-in-chief oversee the website. The ''CU Independent'' received four regional awards from the Society of Professional Journalists in 2014, including "Best Digital-Only Student Publication." ==History== The ''CU Independent'' was founded in 1978 as the ''Working Press'' but soon adopted the name ''Campus Press.'' It was launched by Mal Deans, a CU journalism instructor, to serve as a student-run newspaper after the Colorado Daily left campus and became a community newspaper.〔("Mal Deans was a 'journalist's journalist,'" ''The Daily Camera,'' December 30, 2005 )〕 The ''Campus Press'' published a weekly printed edition in the fall and spring semesters as part of a journalism class. It began publishing online in April 1994, making it the first online newspaper in Colorado. The ''Campus Press'' became an online-only publication in August 2006, years ahead of most college newspapers. The tagline on the website was changed from "CU's only independent student voice" to "CU's only student voice."〔("The Campus Press in cyberspace," ''Inside CU,'' March 13, 2007 )〕 The publication's name was changed to the ''CU Independent'' in August 2008 as it split from the journalism school's curriculum in the wake of a controversy over a student journalist's racially charged column. The journalism program continues to provide office space, computers and other resources and to retain the editors and adviser on payroll.〔("Campus Press no more, CU Independent takes off," ''The Daily Camera,'' August 16, 2008 )〕 The CU Independent launched a new website on January 12, 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CU Independent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
