What this means for The Reporter, which relies heavily on the in-house press to stay afloat in its current all-color format, isn&#8217;t immediately clear. Whatever it means, it likely isn&#8217;t good for the future of every RIT student&#8217;s favorite magazine.

Now the work of the talented staff there can finally shine on a much larger scale; the acerbic, often irreverent humor that&#8217;s become The Reporter&#8217;s trademark over the years can find a much broader audience than simply those students who remain on campus. Plus, I know for a fact that there&#8217;s a whole department of New Media Designers who would jump at the chance to design a Reporter online app&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a post over at Infinity Quad,\u00a0RIT&#8217;s Print Media lab will be selling its in-house printing press.
