About
About Newsprint Notebook
Newsprint Notebook is a small independent site of short notes about student journalism and about subjects a college newspaper near the U.S.-Mexico border wrote about.
This site is not The Southwestern College Sun. It is not run by, tied to or endorsed by Southwestern College, its students, its staff, its journalism program or anyone who published at this address before.What this address was
For years this address carried the website of a student newspaper at a community college in Chula Vista, California. That site left this address in 2024, and the newspaper keeps publishing on a website of its own. Other publications still link to its old stories here, so the pages that are linked most now hold a short, new note on the same subject.
What you will not find here
- No articles, photos, cartoons, logos or mastheads from the newspaper. Its work belongs to the people who made it.
- No names of students, staff, officials or sources from old stories.
- No claims from old stories repeated as fact. The notes stay with public records and say where a figure comes from.
- No news service, no archive, no way to reach the newspaper or the college.
How the notes are made
Each note is written fresh, in plain language, from public sources such as government pages, court and hearing records and university libraries. Where a note cites a source, the link goes straight to it.
