I totally agree with " inherent within all human beings is a desire to avoid expressing opinions that run counter to prevailing attitudes or counter to the opinions of people who matter to them." I also understand that student should be able to publish without limitation and censorship under the circumstances of proper process of production. However, in campus media, student should have certain mind set and direction of what kind of informations are going to be in campus media. Even in campus media, media is a field where it needs serious consideration on reviewing the materials before they are published. Students are still learning and even though a high level of experienced publisher need peers to review. Therefore, reasonable amount of  influence and literature review.  Also, there are a lot of concerns and problems are raising on how it's not professional enough and disorganized. In my opinion, for most college and university there are not enough support and demand for the campus media. In terms of consumers, there are not enough of them. For that reason, students are busy with school and when they do consume media, campus media is certainly not the first choice of selection. There are countless amount of media such as internet, and all the other mega corporations. However, there is a possibility for the better future. It is very difficult to make students to demand the campus media with similar information as other mega media. It simply can't compete with other media. What can campus media could do is that strongly focusing on school, and students. Such as providing interest only students would care and need. Campus media should take place to enhance student's life in terms of Academic life. That way students can be persuade to demand campus media because no other media is only focussing for their school and their sake.
