Cerritos College Paper Struggles To Stay In Print

NORWALK, Calif. (AP) ― Cerritos College newspaper editors are trying to find a way to keep their paper, Talon Marks, in print.

Though the 4,000-circulation paper will continue to publish online, administrators say the paper will produce two print editions a year instead of 25.

Talon Marks editor Scott Watkins says that's a problem because the community relies on the print edition.

The community college's administrators have also cut the class that produces the 53-year-old paper in anticipation of a tight budget.

Fine Arts dean Connie Mayfield says only 12 students enrolled in the newspaper production class last semester, and it was among a number of classes being targeted for low enrollment.

Staffers have begun a petition online to keep the paper in print.
