Kylene's Dissertation

Kaylene Armstrong: I looked at student newspapers in the 1960s through Kent State in 1970 and how they covered the protests on their own campuses. I interviewed all the old editors and reporters and got lots of fun back stories, the stuff that never made it into the paper like the editors getting threatening phone calls and being spit on, the University of Utah newspaper going underground because protesters were trying to take it over (they worked out of a OB-GYN doctor's office downtown SLC, doc was an editor's grandpa), stuff like that.
