52: Rebirth of the Student Review


Listen Later

From 1986 to 1997, the Student Review enjoyed a wonderful run as BYU’s independent student newspaper, which at its peak published weekly and achieved a circulation of 10,000. During its run, SR featured a wonderful cross section of news reporting, essays, and wildly popular humor and satire, with some of its stories resulting in changes to campus policy, as well as impacting life in the wider community and state. As a result of some of its coverage of difficult issues, the publication occasionally rankled school administrators, sometimes even triggering official efforts to shut it down. A team of current BYU students has now resurrected the Student Review, printing and distributing its first issue on September 19th. In this episode, we meet SR’s new editor, Craig Mangum, and also learn about the newspaper’s founding and history from additional panelists, Bill Kelly, SR’s first publisher, and former editors Joanna Brooks and Matt Workman. And through it all we get a chance to hear tales of a delightful slice of BYU life as experienced by some of the school’s best and brightest of the past and present. Warning: This discussion contains stories of a credit card with mythological status, rampant sexual tension, and adventures with security guards and steam tunnels. You don’t want to miss out on any of the fun!
