The Press's Knight in Shining Armor

Good news to college editors and reporters! Press

+paid content has joined together with Knight Foundation for the opportunity for 50 college newspapers to install a content meter on the newspaper's website for free.

Included with this offer, Knight will pay the setup fee and Press+ will charge it's normal 20% commission.

The main focal point is for college students not to be charged for admission to their schools' newspaper, but to get an outside community to the school to read these articles and donate money if they like the article.

Right now Knight and Press+ have a target audience, which consist of: parents, alumni, and people generally keep up with college news.

I think this article is very important, especially since I am a soul believer that the community should embrace the college's community. With this new tool, young journalism students will have the opportunity to get their work out easier and to more people.
