My favorite thing about college-age editorial writers:
They think they have original ideas and opinions that people actually care about.
I say this because I was once a college-age journalist, and not out of an attempt to offend anyone aspiring to be a writer. And after reading many a college newspaper, it is shocking how tired and overdone the content is, particularly op-ed, and how editorial advisers, year after year, allow the same poor writing and tired overdone story pitches to come to a printed piece.
Best advice for a college journalist: READ. Read a lot. And listen.
And then, maybe you write.
