I was wondering why the DE continued to put out a print edition since, since according to my admittedly unsystematic research, very few if any students read the print paper, instead choosing to peruse it online. The savings would seem to justify closing th eprint operation of the paper but it appears, according to a student reporter I spoke with, if the DE wishes to remain an accredited publication, it must have a print edition as well as an online one
As a student paper, it is also educationally important for students to learn skills like print layout, color balancing, and the printing and distribution process if they want to have a shot in the industry.
