Short shelf life for Yale publications

Anonymous Patron writes “The Yale Herald Reports on Yale’s Manuscripts and Archives Department, which holds boxes of back issues of obsolete student publications dating back to the 1700s. One archivist dryly summed up why the magazines most often fail: “Students leave.”
Others speculate that student publications die because their résumé-conscious founders graduate, having failed to establish a stable foundation for their endeavor. Diana Feygin, editor-in-chief of established conservative newspaper the Yale Free Press, disagrees with the explanation, noting that publishing controversial content is not always appreciated by employers. “We’re not a publication where it would help your résumé to write for us,” she said. “[The fact that] you wrote for a conservative newspaper will not necessarily help you after college.””
