The Exponent inserted itself as a voice for student press as rival Indiana Daily Student was up against it. But where do things stand as the Exponent navigates its own rocky relationship with Purdue?
Proud of Olivia, Kyle and the Exponent staff. Keep up the good work and stellar example of America’s founding ideals of freedom of speech and boosting the underdog. —Angie
An outstanding edition, Dave! The Exponent and the IDS are crucial vehicles for keeping students attending their universities and the communities at large informed and in tune with each other. My kudos to their staffs for their tenacity in defending freedom of the press and the ethics of that role. Another thank you, Dave, for a deeper insight and the link to help both papers out.
This was a great interview and a very important one for everybody, everywhere to read. Thank you. I have had family on the Exponent staff in the past and as community members we read the Exponent. There was a lot in the interview that I was not aware of. Olivia and Kyle were very professional and honest with their replies.
This interview was very positive in many ways. Good work on all involved with this interview.
"Question: About the relationship with Purdue, has that changed your approach? Do you feel it has changed how you’re able to report or changed how you’ve reported on the university?
Olivia Mapes: Less people are willing to talk to us, I’d say."
If you're looking for a reason, there it is. Purdue doesn't want anyone to talk to the press. What are they scared of?

And the Purdue Exponent does a very good job of reporting!

I wish I could start every day with a discussion among three public-spirited ink-stained wretches about sticking it to the Man.

I don’t think I realized The Purdue Exponent is no longer a daily print.
