阅读理解Student newspapers across the US are facing a dark reality. As they are free to read, they are making less money than ever, meaning that such newspapers are finding it hard to survive. Most college papers have reduced their print editions (版本). Last year, the Daily Tar Heel printed a paper four days a week. This year, it prints a paper every three days. And while it used to produce around 22,000 newspapers each time, it only makes around: 10,000 now, said Erica Perel, general manager. Increasingly, student journalists have turned their focus to digital versions of their newspapers, and the new ways that social media allows them to tell stories. They've adapted their skills to mirror what's going on in the professional journalism world. "I think we're adapting very well…in moving away from that print edition. But it's challenging. " said Jonathan Carter, a student at North Carolina State University. So what should student newspapers do? LoMonte said the best solution would be for universities to financially (财经的) support student journalism. University leaders like to talk about producing responsible students, he said, and journalism is a part of that. In the meantime, campus newspapers are figuring out their financial models as they go along. Bruce dePyssler, adviser to North Carolina Central University's Campus Echo Newspaper, said his students post one story a day online. The best stories are put together for a once-a-semester print edition. And even if student journalists don't go into media jobs, Perel said, "They've still had a great education. " "The number one thing that we teach is critical thinking (批判思考) and how to be a lifelong learner, " she said, "The ones who are living through this transition (过渡) are the ones that are going to be a lot stronger for it in the end. "
