Kids don't read the newspaper anymore and haven't for years. It's all about the internet.
But I will say this: With the ancient Bob Yates running the department, the ability to be current with the times is a challenge that will always face that department. He's too inflexible.
You are missing the point as the written articles hit the Nationwide wire services and search engines and gets the press in general on board. Its hard to get the internet stuff on SMU if no one is writing about them. It starts at the local level and attracts the ESPN's and the others like sharks if there is 'noise' about SMU that hits on all fronts. And yes they read the papers as the HS games and players of the week etc are in the DMN and they all read it to check up on their peers, scores etc. All those kids love to see their pics or press in the papers.
Yup.
