The ''Grand Valley Lanthorn'' is the student-run newspaper for Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. The ''Lanthorn'' is printed twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays during the academic year (Late August through April).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Digital Collections - Grand Valley State University : Compound Object Viewer )〕 It is not printed over academic breaks, and there are typically two issues over the summer months. The "Lanthorn" prints 8,000 copies per individual publication〔 and also operates its own website. The word "lanthorn" is derived from an old English word meaning "look out" or "lantern."〔 A lanthorn was constructed of leather and a lens made of ox or steer horn, it was used for lighting or as a beacon.〔 The common pronunciation of the word on campus is lan-thorn, although the proper pronunciation is lant-horn. ==History== The ''Grand Valley Lanthorn'' first traces its history back to November 22, 1963, with the founding of at the time Grand Valley State College's first student-run newspaper, "The Keystone".〔 The Keystone did not last long however, and had its last edition published on January 22, 1966. It was then replaced by GVSC's second newspaper, "The Valley View", on October 28, 1966 until its last publication on June 6, 1968.〔 In October 1968, the college changed the name again, this time to "The Lanthorn". The internet edition of the newspaper, www.lanthorn.com, appeared in 1995, and was the first online edition of a weekly Michigan collegiate newspaper. The Lanthorn grew to broadsheet size on August 27, 1997 and averaged 20–24 pages in length each week.〔 On January 13, 2000, the newspaper changed its name for the last time to the "Grand Valley Lanthorn". The GVL expanded to publications twice per week circulating 8,000 copies per publication to both the Allendale and Grand Rapids campuses.〔 Although GVSU is a Division II athletics school, the newspaper competes at the Division I level for the Michigan College Press Association Awards.〔(2008 Award Winning Work )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grand Valley Lanthorn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
