When you want to see breaking news or just want to see what’s going on, where do you look?

We asked several students where they get their news, including how often they use the Collegiate Readership Program and the $2.50 additional student fee to continue the program next fall.

Here’s what they said:

Cory Bromley, an advertising major from Philadelphia, said he gets his news from The Red & Black and sometimes the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

When asked if he currently uses the Collegiate Readership Program, Bromley said the papers were not really accessible.

He said most of his classes are not close to bins where the papers are distributed, but he also said that he would pay the extra $2.50 fee next year. “It makes no difference,” e said.

Sarah McDonagh, a sophomore from Augusta, said, “Drudgereport.com and sometimes CNN, but mostly drudgereport.com.” She also said she was undecided on the additional $2.50 student fee next fall for the Collegiate Readership Program.

Jacqueline Oparah, a psychology major from McDonough, said she gets her news from television, The Red & Black and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

When asked about paying the extra student fee to keep the program next fall, she said, “Sure I’d pay it, why not?”

“I get my news from television stations like CNN and Fox News,” said

Valerie Omidina, a senior from Nigeria. When asked about the Collegiate Readership Program, Omidina said she didn’t know about it.

Aaron Bivins, an engineering major from Carrollton, said he gets his news from CNN and The New York Times.

Bivins occasionally uses the Collegiate Readership Program, and when asked about the extra fee next year, he said, “Yeah I’d pay it. $2.50 is not a big deal – that’s like one Sunday paper.”

Joe Kubler, a sophomore from Atlanta, said he gets his news from The New York Times Web site, other internet sources and sometimes newspapers such as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The New York Times.

Kubler said he definitely would pay the extra student fee if there were more papers to go around.

The University participates in the Collegiate Readership Program – USA Today initiative that and works with colleges and universities to improve students’ access to major and local newspapers.

The program furnishes the white metal bins scattered around campus that are filled with editions of the Athens Banner-Herald, The New York Times and USA Today to the University.

An addition of $2.50 to student fees has been approved for next fall, meaning the program is funded by students.
