The document summarizes the results of a 2001 survey of college media advisers: - Most advisers advise newspapers and have prior journalism experience. Many have been advising for over 15 years and have advanced degrees. - They typically work at smaller colleges and have faculty rank, though around half do not have tenure. Most teach some courses each semester. - Advisers are usually assigned to academic departments and report to department chairs or deans. They spend 11-40 hours per week advising. - Compensation varies but often includes a reduced teaching load or additional pay. Most student papers are weekly publications with budgets under $100,000 funded through advertising, fees, and college funds. Paid positions are more common
