Indiana University Halts IDS Print, Fires Adviser | JQJO

Indiana University ordered the student-run Indiana Daily Student to stop printing new editions and dismissed its student media director and paper adviser, Jim Rodenbush, prompting student editors to call the moves censorship. Editors said administrators had barred news content from print and, after Rodenbush resisted, eliminated print entirely; they published a digital issue with "CENSORED" on the front. University leaders say the actions are part of a shift to a digital-first model to address financial deficits, asserting IDS retains editorial control. PEN America and the Student Press Law Center condemned the decisions.
