Post-Intelligencer: College paper up in the air over shutdown

The doors of the City Collegian newspaper office have been closed — at least for now. The locks were changed over the summer. The lights are off, and stacks of Seattle Central Community College’s student paper are barely visible through a window.

The once-biweekly newspaper is frozen in time online, too — its Web site still displaying news stories dated June 9. That was the last time the Collegian published, a date that might mark the most recent link in a chain of college newspaper deaths around the state.
