As a print newspaper.

As we know, it eventually came to be ran by cliquish, unfunny, non-intelligent folks who succeeded in killing it. Back in 1997 apparently.

Seems odd to me that they would use a print format. Since print is apparently dying. But whatever.

If the previous run had a circulation peak of 10,000, why did it fold? Dead poets society?

1. BYU did not allow campus distribution.

2. The talent level of the staff decreased to the point that the content was terrible. Think Robin Finderson.

3. Eventually it became a playground by imbeciles, for imbeciles.

Trib article on new Student Review.

One sees that Bryan Waterman's hands are all over this. Not surprising, since the website promotes his book.
