''The Towerlight'' is the twice-weekly independent student newspaper at Towson University. It is run by Towson students, and frequently updates the campus on events and news. In the summer of 2008, members of The Towerlight created Baltimore Student Media, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support for aspiring student journalists, photographers, videographers and graphic designers. In July 2008, Towson University agreed to sign over the rights of The Towerlight to BSM. ==History== According to the first issue of ''The Oriole'', the very first newspapers were published in 1921 with no names, in order to advertise the school and increase enrollment. There were only two issues published in 1921, and the first monthly publication was created in January 1922. Also in the first issue, then principal Lida Lee Tall, wrote that the purpose of the newspaper was: *To give the students a medium for telling their life and their ideals to all groups of interested students in the state. *To give the school its opportunity to place its stamp upon education. *To give the state an opportunity to know what one of its normal schools is doing and aiming to do. *To send a message out into the schools of other states. The original name (''The Oriole'') was a suggestion from one of the seniors at the time, Ellen Hutchinson. There were a pool of names suggested, and the students voted unanimously for the name. 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「The Towerlight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
