"The Alabamian" Brings the News to Montevallo

By Devan Cooley

The Alabamian is a student-run newspaper on the campus of the University of Montevallo. The newspaper is published every two weeks, and features articles on local news, reviews, recipes, and more. Students work to write, edit, organize, and publish the paper.

Reed Strength, Managing Editor for The Alabamian, says that what he likes best about working on the paper is helping with the stories. "I'd say my favorite thing is sort of being able to work with the staff on all of their story ideas and creating a paper that I think reflects several different points of view on campus."

Each edition of the paper requires around 12 students to create the finished product. These students work hard to produce a professional newspaper.

Copy editor Joe Tutwiler says that he believes the purpose of The Alabamian is to inform students on local events. "We mainly focus on stuff that is happening around here. We're mainly a university-focused paper. We try to bring news and events to campus."

The staff meets each week at the Student Publications Office in Farmer Hall to organize and edit the newspaper. Most of the students are Mass Communications Journalism majors, but any student with an interest in journalism is welcome.
