It looks like some college newspapers are about to head in the same direction as many well-known ones, and in somewhat the same direction as the White House.

Many newspapers, forced to slash costs in a punishing environment, are looking to open source and free content management systems, and quite a few of them are reporting significant cost savings. Why shouldn't the trend extend to college newspapers?
