It appears the IDS was told to only have Homecoming information in their Homecoming edition. The media director said no so he was fired. Is this censorship?
Sounds pretty obviously a 1A violation. Not sure what's going on there. Here's the IU spokesperson's response:It appears the IDS was told to only have Homecoming information in their Homecoming edition. The media director said no so he was fired. Is this censorship?
“Indiana University Bloomington is committed to a vibrant and independent student media ecosystem. As part of the 2024 Action Plan for Student Media, the campus is shifting resources from print to digital media, prioritizing student experiences that are more consistent with today’s digital-first media environment while also addressing a longstanding structural deficit at the Indiana Daily Student. Editorial control remains fully with IDS leadership, and the university will continue to work closely with them to ensure the strength, sustainability and independence of student media at IU."
So maybe they will argue this is not a matter of content but a matter of type of distribution (given cost concerns with print)?

Well, they have now shut down the newspaper.
.
And now Mark Cuban is unhappy.
"I gave money to IU general fund for the IDS last year, so they could pay everyone and not run a deficit. I gave more than they asked for. I told them I’m happy to help because the IDS is important to kids at IU."
“I gave money to IU general fund for the IDS last year, so they could pay everyone and not run a deficit. I gave more than they asked for. I told them I’m happy to help because the IDS is important to kids at IU.”
I do not know what happened here, it may be two sides talking past each other, it may be mistaken understanding, or it may be censorship. I don't know we will know, but I suspect Cuban will generate a better explanation.
Galen Clavio.
has a great you tube channel full of old IU games. Assuming it’s the same guy. This doess sound a bit fishy but I feel like we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg around a larger disagreement. To be sure, I have no idea how the IDS is run.
And now Mark Cuban is unhappy.
Good. It means we're winning. About time that leftist rag gets put down.
I figured The Curse would kill our football success at some point. Surprised it took so long. Finally got good and have financial backing of a billionaire alum. Our Phil Knight. We were becoming Oregon of the Midwest. Now this. So long Cuban Cash! Hopefully all you poor ass fuck sticks pony up your SS checks to help pay for the new facilities Coach Cig wants.And now Mark Cuban is unhappy.

He does the crimson cast podcast.
The IDS is alive and well:And now Mark Cuban is unhappy.

Print is dead.“I gave money to IU general fund for the IDS last year, so they could pay everyone and not run a deficit. I gave more than they asked for. I told them I’m happy to help because the IDS is important to kids at IU.”

@bradstevens yeah, i'm a bit confused. Is this much ado about nothing? Like, it has to be wayyyyy cheaper to move to a fully digital model. I mean, you have to pay extra to get the NYT print and the online experience is the best in the business.
Sounds like crying wolf to me. Again, assuming nobody is actually messing with the editorial content.
