I’m a graduate student in the English department, which means I have a somewhat odd window onto undergraduate life at U.Va., not least because I get to hear the thoughts of my fellow graduate students. One of the chief fixations of the graduate students is the undergrads’ love of Thomas Jefferson.

The last decade has seen a fundamental shift in the way young Americans consume news. But plenty of members of the college-age generation no longer read newspapers or magazines as distinct products; instead, they read articles they encounter online at random, often without even a thought about who published the story. It’s a troubling change — it leads to a very passive, uninformed reader who thinks news simply appears as if by magic, not to mention the ill effects of such habits on newspapers’ chances of survival.

The nation's top public and private universities are once again under public scrutiny for being home to rampant alleged sexual misdeeds, thanks to survey results released Monday by the Association of American Universities. The study, which considered students at 27 universities, including U.Va., found that over 20 percent of female undergraduates at those schools said they had been victims of sexual assault.

To what degree should readers trust a newspaper? In our era of bloggers and Twitter, when any guy with an iPhone can break news or comment on it, it’s too tempting to think the pros don’t matter — that the news will out and the source is just branding.
