    Purdue Student Newspaper Prints, Delivers IU’s Canceled Edition in Show of Solidarity.
    In an unexpected act of collegiate solidarity, Purdue University’s student newspaper, The Purdue Exponent, printed and distributed a special edition of Indiana University’s Indiana Daily Student (IDS) after IU abruptly canceled the IDS’s planned Homecoming print issue.

    Earlier this month, Indiana University administrators reportedly told the IDS staff to stop including regular news in their print editions and focus solely on themed content. When editors pushed back, the university pulled the plug on the print edition entirely—just days before publication. The move also led to the firing of the IDS’s director of student media, Jim Rodenbush, after he refused to comply with the new directive.

    IU officials claim the decision was driven by financial concerns and a shift to digital platforms. However, IDS editors and press freedom advocates see it as a clear attempt at editorial interference. In response, The Purdue Exponent produced and delivered 3,000 copies of a “solidarity edition” to IU’s Bloomington campus—placing them directly in IDS’s usual newsstands. The front page declared: “We Student Journalists Must Stand Together.” While IU and Purdue are traditional rivals, this move underscores a shared commitment among student journalists to protect editorial independence and resist administrative overreach.
