Some of the biggest headlines in history were born out of the Daily Targum newsroom on Neilson Street in New Brunswick.
The student paper at Rutgers University went independent in 1980, so it could freely cover everything happening on campus. Since then, student fees have funded the non-profit that oversees it, known as the Targum Publishing Company. Every three years, students vote on whether to be billed $11.25 for the paper. And this time they didn’t get the 25 percent of votes needed.
“I was really heartbroken by it,” Daily Targum reporter Chloe Dopico said.
Newly appointed business manager Sandy Jiacobbe said it’s a setback, as the fee funds most of the paper’s operations. Student staff are paid a daily fee and there’s three full-time employees, including an accountant.
“It is going to change our operations going forward into the future,” Jiacobbe said.
Managing editor Priyanka Bansal is determined to deliver the news.
“Without a pay or with a pay, we’re still here because we care about covering the news,” Bansal said.
