BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WDRB) -- Indiana University will use a task force to explore the stability of student media.
This comes after Indiana University directed the Indiana Daily Student to stop printing news in their newspaper and only print the special editions, usually tied to campus events.
When former Director of Student Media Jim Rodenbush resisted, the university fired him. And when the newspaper staff asked them to rescind the termination order, IU cut print entirely.
Indiana University Media School Dean Dave Tolchinsky announced the formation of the task force Monday to "bring together faculty, staff, students, and alumni to develop recommendations ensuring both the editorial independence and financial sustainability of student media at IU."
The task force will be appointed in the coming weeks.
