Northern Kentucky University's weekly newspaper brings the campus news to the students' fingertips. In these rare photos, readers get a sneak peek behind the scenes of the Northerner's staff meeting. The staff, all NKU students, writes for the Northerner in their spare time.
Cassie Stone, the Editor-in-Chief, heads the meeting with "kick ass awards." These awards are handed out to the staff and contributing writers that accomplish something under short deadline, complete a difficult story or do a good job in general. The meeting proceeds to the last printed issue and the pros and cons of the stories in it. For the first time in the Northerner's history, a 20-page newspaper was published and distributed. The upcoming issue and the stories in it is the last thing to be discussed.
The deadline, Tuesdays at midnight, is taken very seriously, even at the college level. The Northerner's staff meeting mimics that of a national newspaper staff meeting. The process of editing and designing the Northerner allows informatic majors the chance to practice for the real world.
