Michelle Monroe, editor of the Arizona Daily Wildcat, talks about the paper's history.

In an ocean of information, readers turn to a handful of trusted beacons to guide them. The University of Arizona's Daily Wildcat has been one such beacon since 1899, putting out a daily paper with the unofficial motto: “Print the news, sound the alarm, and raise hell."

Editor Michelle Monroe continues that scrappy tradition and joins the studio to talk about it. She discusses the paper's coverage of the January 8 shooting rampage in Tucson, the role the media has within the UA administration and the responsibility that comes with keeping 37,000 students in the know.
