The Champlain Current what you need to know

THESIS: The Champlain Current is all about reporting news that either effects students directly or has happened on campus and they want to give it coverage. As far as I know they Current only has one media platform, which is print. There has been talk of a blog or a online component but it is still up in the air.

FIVE FACTS: All stories are written by students here at Champlain.
The editor and director is Warren Baker a teacher in the writing major that teaches Journalism
It is a monthly release that shares stories from the previous month.
It offers stories from straight news to features and profiles.
And yes it has adds.

TRIUNE BRAIN: Since the Current is a news paper it is obviously heavy and words and so it would stimulate the Neocortex more than other parts of the brain. There are pictures too so that adds the Limbic brain to the mix as well.

8 TRENDS: There is a discursive shift since the articles are written by students many of them will have a particular spin to them whether it is political or not depends on the subject matter. It could also have a cultural shift in which we the people are using the current to survey our college.

7 PRINCIPLES: Ownership is a big thing with the current since it is ran by students it has very little slant or spin since most writers are more concerned with writing the news that the whole campus can enjoy rather than a small portion. Production Techniques the current is one of the few papers that does not have an online component as of yet and it would seem that at such a tech dominated school there would be one. But having to pull your eyes away from a computer screen gives a nice shift of pace for the students.

29 PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES: Honestly this is hard to come up with since this is a student run new paper with no agenda other than to bring us the news of whats going on I really cannot say whether this has persuasive techniques what would it be trying to sell to us?
But the articles within the paper have their own bias. Since all the stories are written by students it will have the spin and leanings the author wants to communicate.
From our reading."The effort ot state an absolute fact is simply an attempt to achieve what is humanly impossible."
