Cassie Conklin is asking questions.
She rehabbed Frostburg State’s student newspaper into a relentless university watchdog.
Now they’re watching her.
Cassie Conklin used to stuff crumpled up copies of the student newspaper, left for trash, in her shoes.
“The Bottom Line was so lacking that my partner and I would take whole stacks of them to dry our boots.”
But Conklin doesn’t want to disparage the former journalists at Frostburg State University’s independent student reporting outlet.
“I just think there wasn’t a lot of engagement with the newspaper. It’s not like people were coming to the newspaper with tips.”
