A Sea Of Red

So I was driving down Wards Rd this morning and saw an advertisement for this site on the new LED board over by the pedestrian bridge. Does anyone here know about it?

it would appear to be The independent student-run news service, serving the Liberty University community.

I guess the question(s) is/are: direct competition for the Champion, albeit online only? or is this the 2nd gen vers of the student newspaper, with the Champion being phased out?

has the appearance of being officially sanctioned, at least it looks professional enough.

no official logos though

looks really nice, really professional looking. anyway i guess it's for students to write stories where there is no restrictions, ala liberty champion.

A friend of mine is the editor-in-chief over there...nicely done stories.

1) No. According to my friend the editor-in-chief, its just another outlet for students to gain journalistic experience, much like FlamesNation.com could do
2) No. The Champion is not being nor will it be phased out.

Why can't the ads be… more selective. Ugh. I know the cookies from the sports sites I visit probably contribute, but sheesh. Can't the webmaster have any control over the ads?
