Why everyone should be reading Ka Leo daily

If you've read even one issue of Ka Leo over the past year, you may have seen the various space-filling advertisements that say something like "Read Ka Leo Daily." There was one that explained, "It's better than a bran muffin," while another said only, "Because we said so." Here are the reasons why.

For one, it's the best place for on-campus news. The daily newspapers such as the Honolulu Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin have to cover the news all over the state, and may not be able to report on anything but the big headline-making events. By reading Ka Leo, you get the lesser-known stories in addition to the exciting ones.

Second, it's the only place you're going to find student opinions on a regular basis. It's the same thing with the comics and sports sections. If something at UH suck or if a student athlete makes it great, chances are that you'll hear about it in Ka Leo.

The third reason to read Ka Leo every day is that everyone else does (or so we'll assume for hte sake of argument). Who knows what kind of hottie you're going to sit next to on the first day of school? If you can't think of anything to say, you can at least talk about the school newspaper.

The last, and best, reason is that it's FREE, as in "it costs nothing." What's more, when you're finished, you can put it back in a Ka Leo rack and we'll recycle it for you. What daily newspaper can offer you that?

With them, you have to pay 50 cents for a whole bunch of stories when all you want is one the front page. With Ka Leo, you get none of the hassle, no eighty zillion extra pages that you don't know what to do with, and no wasted trees!

You don't need to be a journalism major to get something out of the school newspaper. Heck, you don't even need to be a journalism major to be on staff. Ka Leo has something for everyone; it's just a matter of looking past Page One.
