Once again, I’ll post items that might be of interest to college media outlets as I see them. If your school media localized the story, send me an e-mail at scmurley -at- gmail.com, and i’ll drop it in the list.

CT’s list of confirmed dead.

• InsideVandy stories here and here (thanks to Paige Clancy)
• Daily Arbiter stories here and here (thanks to Brad Arendt)
• The Daily Kent Stater has a section of stories. A reporter who traveled to Va. Tech blogs her experience here (via Meranda Watling).
• The MU Savitar reports that a shooting near the University of Missouri-Columbia was reported incorrectly as the news broke. (via Matt Sokoloff)
• Tuesday’s CT front page
• Wednesday’s CT front page (PDF 3.6 MB)
• Editor & Publisher interviews Collegiate Times editor Amie Steele. The interview mentions that the Tuesday edition of the CT didn’t go to press until 6 a.m. Tuesday. It was mostly on the racks by 9-10 a.m. (hat tip: Journerdism)
• Mark Hamilton dissects news coverage and says some things I totally agree with: The new coverage.
• Student journalists from the Daily Pennsylvanian traveled to Va. Tech yesterday. Photos and stories here, here, and here.
• The L.A. Times profiles the Collegiate Times staff’s response (via Romenesko).
• The UVA Cavalier Daily front page from Tuesday
• Housekeeping: For some reason, our site traffic statistics are showing a lot of visitors searching for BigLickU, the social networking site started by the Roanoke Times. Unfortunately, they are arriving at a post we wrote several months ago about the implications of BigLickU for college campus media. I’m almost positive that’s not the information they’re seeking. The interplay between the various media in Blacksburg (BigLickU, Roanoke.com, Collegiate Times, and Planet Blacksburg) is certainly an interesting story. In fact, Ralph Braseth interviewed someone at a media conference this weekend about BigLickU. But it’s not the story for now.
