Daily Lobo accepts eggs in exchange for positive news coverage

Dannely Verduzco | March 31

At the Daily Lobo, we encourage the community at the University of New Mexico to donate valuable assets — including eggs and more eggs! In exchange for positive coverage, students and faculty members can bring us eggs. One egg equals one marvelous quote in a Daily Lobo article, subject to change depending on the price of eggs at transaction. Eck Carton, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, said the arrangement has worked out in his favor. “I’ve exchanged about 10 dozen eggs so far. I think the quotes are helping me reach stardom,” Carton said. “They should rename the Daily Lobo to the Daily Eck.”

The history of the newspaper arts and culture section

Addison Fulton and Dannely Verduzco | July 26

The arts and culture section is a mainstay of many established newspapers. The Daily Lobo is no exception. The New York Times, the Washington Post and Fox News all have arts and culture desks that go by various names. People have been discussing and commenting on culture for as long as it has existed, but the prominence of the culture desk has not always been so universal. There is a delay between the advent of journalism and when journalistic publications began to dedicate print space to arts and culture. Journalism began as far back as 3400 B.C.E., when early civilizations used hieroglyphics in clay to transmit news, according to the Science Survey.
