There's a great staff at the Wildcat this semester! :D
It is a student run organization, trying to do some journalism and make enough money to keep doing journalism. Don't let any blips on the wildcat's past cast any doubt, and look at each of its semesters with a fresh eye. Staff turnover happens semester to semester, because they're all students. This also means the paper can change drastically from semester to semester, usually improving though sometimes not.
That being said, don't be afraid to comment online or send letters to the editor if you see a place for improvement, and they're always looking for applications. Halls are definitely not hallowed there. It's just a good place to get some experience with journalism, and students from all over campus, including the journalism department, English department, art college, fraternities, and so on participate there for this reason.
Please take these newsroom dramas with a grain of salt. They are the exception, not the rule.
