They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

That was incredibly deflating for the #Brewers. Peralta had two strikes on Muncy and he homers dead center with two outs. #Dodgers

The only move the #Phillies should make this offseason is sign Kiké Hernández because that will guarantee them a World Series championship.

Turang would’ve been better off letting that pitch hit him than striking out on a neck high fastball. #Brewers #Dodgers
