''The Diamondback'' is the award-winning independent student newspaper of the University of Maryland, College Park. It was founded in 1910 as ''The Triangle'' and renamed in 1921 in honor of a local reptile, the Diamondback terrapin (the terrapin became the official school mascot in 1933). The print edition of the newspaper is published once a week on Thursdays, with a print circulation of 14,000,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2010-2011 Advertising Prospectus & Publication Schedule )〕 down from a high of more than 21,000, and what used to be annual advertising revenues of more than $1 million. It is usually only about eight pages due to declining advertising revenue in recent years.〔(Amicus brief in Rossignol v. Voorhaar )〕 The Diamondback publishes a digital edition on Fridays during the school year. The paper's current independent status was originally intended as punishment—the Board of Regents cut off student funding after ''The Diamondback's'' actions in 1971, when it ran two pages blank in protest of campus censorship and placed tombstones on its editorial page in protest of the Vietnam War.〔(Censoring the College Press )〕 The paper's offices are located on the third floor of the South Campus Dining Hall, across from the WMUC-FM radio station. ==Sections== ''The Diamondback'' is split into four sections: * News - The news section covers both on- and off-campus news, specifically in the region of College Park, Maryland, but also expands coverage to Annapolis, Maryland, when the state's legislature is in session. * Opinion - The editorial section contains ''The Diamondback's'' editorial, op-eds and letters to the editor, and editorial cartoons. * Diversions - The entertainment section contains reviews of movies and music, as well as concerts and plays around the College Park region. * Sports - The sports section covers University of Maryland athletics, including men's basketball and football. This section often has a combination of news and opinion articles. 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「The Diamondback」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
