WVBR will launch a new online radio stream geared toward Cornell students when classes resume in the spring, according to a Powerpoint presentation obtained by The Sun.

Liana Passantino '11, a former staff member of WVBR, argues that the Student Assembly was wrong to grant byline funding to Slope Media Group.

Slope Media Group is an incredibly impressive student organization for a number of reasons. Run entirely by students, in just a few years Slope has built itself up from nothing but a few kids with a big dream to a few kids with a functional multi-media platform, with which you can not only learn how to edit online video, broadcast live radio shows and publish a magazine, but go on to use these skills to say whatever you want to whoever’s listening (or reading… or watching).

For students who crave hands-on media experience and a forum to share their opinions and creativity with the Cornell Community, Slope Media Group offers one of a kind opportunities. Unfortunately, sometimes students have the forum but just don’t have anything to say.
