Northwestern News Network

Non-notable student television program, only seen on campus closed circuit TV and twice weekly on public access channel GrapedApe (talk) 11:55, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is a non-trivial paywalled mention in the Denver Post at here from what I can tell using the Google news search results that include this blurb "The Northwestern News Network similarly has established a production bureau, using resources from four states including Colorado. Collaborations with Rocky ...".--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:26, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure that applies--the article you site appears to be about an NPR radio station, and this is about a college closed circuit television station. Also, I'm not seeing that quoted material in that blurb. Can you clarify? --GrapedApe (talk) 11:44, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not the same NNN at all. Full copy (for now?) at Ostrow, Joanne (2008-09-28). "At CPR, what you don't hear also matters". Denver Post. Denver, Colorado: MediaNews Group. p. E-01. Retrieved 2013-05-14. A consortium called News Network of the Future is at work informally, using regional and local reporters to share expertise. The Northwestern News Network similarly has established a production bureau, using resources from four states including Colorado. Collaborations with Rocky Mountain PBS are also underway. Not only is the name mentioned only in passing, but the Denver Post article is about a news reporting consortium of public broadcasters (including Colorado Public Radio) in northwestern U.S. states. The Wikipedia article and this AfD is about a student-run service at Northwestern University in Illinois. --Closeapple (talk) 06:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per Tony, or at minimum redirect and merge this back to Northwestern University#Media, adding some of the history discussed here to enhance the brief mention of NNN that's there now. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:18, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Medill School of Journalism. Lots of colleges and universities have student media operations. Many of them get Regional Emmys also; there are often college-specific categories for those. Most of the references in the article are effectively self-published by Medill, and written by people who are part of Medill and its media operations. The remaining reference, from the Chicago Tribune (one of Chicago's 2 "big" mainstream daily newspapers) mentions that a Medill news director at that time (1989) had procured a specialized desk; the main subject of the article is the remodeling of Fisk Hall. Main Google web search turns up lots and lots of NU self-coverage and repackaging therefrom, and about zilch from anywhere else in the first few pages. I also searched Google Scholar, which seemed to be more of the same. Seems to be a subject of primarily local interest, with almost no coverage outside of Northwestern University itself. --Closeapple (talk) 06:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
