The Michigan Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Michigan Times is the student newspaper at the University of Michigan-Flint. Having been founded in 1956 as the University News, The Michigan Times has seen notables such as filmmaker Michael Moore and American Idol finalist LaKisha Jones[citation needed] on its staff.
In 2003, the university's literary magazine entitled "Qua" was incorporated in The Michigan Times. It has since been reduced from its original magazine form into a two-page spread.
The Michigan Times has a print run of 4,000 papers per 16 Editions each academic year (volume).
Former Layout Editor and writer John McKay, under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Ferguson spearheaded the publication's foray into the digital world, formally launching the Michigan Times website, www.themichigantimes.comin 2003. It marked the first time the newspaper has been available in a digital format.
