'ello, I'm Joey Baker. I serve as the Business Director for CoPress, a non-profit startup centered around creating a better 'technical ecosystem' for college media. RIght now, our prime focus is on offering pooled hosting and support for college papers on Wordpress. Eventually, this will expand to a django based CMS. Additionally, we're working to create a community for long-term support, knowledge, and code sharing.
I've sorta fallen into this whole 'save journalism' thing. I'm formally a photojournalist and/or UX designer with a strong interest in business models for journalism. Specifically, I'm interested in how technical convergence has been altering the economy/social ecosystem.
Welcome, Joey! Great to have you on here. College media is an interesting world unto itself. It's interesting to hear it's even got it's own culture, too.

You should submit this as its own news item.
You bet, we're working closely with Populous. CoPress is excited to see what they come up with!
