"Lean to the left. Lean to the right..."

It's back to school time. It’s time to discover which way your student newspaper leans.

What is your college paper saying these days? What will your prospect read when embarking on campus visit? What does the paper say about your prospect or about campus projects your prospect may be funding?"

For researchers who aren't with an educational institution, you may want to catch up on the local news from your prospect's alma mater. Is there a profile on your prospect in the college paper's archives, one that may not be captured by your favorite search engine?

Perhaps your prospect is deeply involved with the school. Does the student paper reveal some of the passion that moves your prospect to give and give at leadership levels? Can you translate that passion to a new philanthropic endeavor? Is your prospect interested in journalism, ethics or freedom of expression? Time to read that student rag and find out how to match the interests of your prospect to those of your school. Or maybe you want to catch up on the student news from your alma mater or read up on the competition.

If you work in education, it is important to know what is happening at your own campus. Why? Often, it is the students and the students’ voice that are the impetus for your prospect's future or continued involvement. What better way to listen to students than through the local rag -- the college newspaper.

Here are few sites that may help you in your school news quest. Please note that, for the most part, the sites are either organized by school name or newspaper name.
