Another paper on Auraria?

Apparently there's going to be a new newspaper on the Auraria campus.

According to Face The State, a new conservative student-run newspaper called The Constitutional Reporter is about to launch. The paper's managing editor, Sean Doherty, said that as a freshman, he was frustrated with the coverage from The Metropolitan – Metro's student-run newspaper – and wanted to start his own paper.

And while I encourage young people to get their voices out, I wonder why Sean didn't try and work with The Met. Making change within an established system works far better than creating something new in order to combat it.

As cool as it would be to see another strong paper emerge on the campus (competition increases quality), but my gut says it's not going to last. Remember when the Ram Republic launched up at CSU? It lasted a whole three issues and folded.

We'll see what happens when The Reporter's staff begins graduating.
