Internet readers can find traditional voices such as the Stanford Daily and the University of Virginia's Cavalier Daily, as well as alternative publications like the Princeton Daily Spigot.
For journalism students, these papers are probably among the most valuable resources on the Internet. It's often helpful to take a look at what other publications are doing; it's cheap and easy to do so on the Web.
There are plenty of places to find links to college newspapers. Among the best I've seen is Louis Gray's Media Encyclopedia. You'll find the Stanford Daily, the Cavalier Daily and the Daily Spigot there, along with many other publications that don't have "daily" on their masthead.
Below are a few other sites I've run across that might be of interest to college journalists. Additional links can be found by visiting any one of the dozens of J-Schools that have sites on the Web.
As always, feel free to add sites I've left out under the "discussions" section.
College News Online is among the best sites I've seen geared toward college students. It features top stories from numerous U.S. campuses, plus links to internship information and more.
The College Press Network is well worth a visit, too. It offers a summary of current stories of interest to college students, plus links to college papers and other resources.
Associated Collegiate Press offers a good sourcebook, with information on contests, critiques and conventions, among other things.
Student Journalist Discussion List offers a place for young ink-stained wretches to gather. This site explains how to sign up.
Newsgroups for Journalists is a list of Usenet resources compiled by San Francisco State University's J-School. A few of the newsgroups were set up specifically for students.
