University of Oregon Student Newspaper Transforming to Online Media Company

Curt Hopkins at Ars Technica:

This coming school year, the University of Oregon’s 92-year-old Oregon Daily Emerald, first a daily student newspaper, then one with a website, will stop publishing altogether except for a Monday “weekly” style publication devoted to news and sports anchored by a 1,200-word cover feature and a Thursday culture and entertainment edition. The rest of the emphasis, effort, time and resources are going to be devoted not simply to a Web presence but to an information and media company called the Emerald Media Group (EMG).

I know at my college paper at least, the web was very often a second thought, but times are changing.
