Something that I found funny that was left out of the paper online was that another front page article that talks about celebrating Fat Tuesday, and handing out beads and fried dough to students. Also available online were a few extra articles that I was unable to locate in the actual paper, as well as a few extra restaurant reviews including Gramma Mora's on Hertal and The Melting Pot in the Galleria Mall.
The online material showed you some of the more important articles on the main screen while the paper ran that same article, entitled Event forces black students to sit in segregated section, on page 3. This might be because when someone is online they are usually in a rush to find something specific and if they weren't to see something like that at first they might just skim right over it, where as if someone is reading the actual paper they are usually relaxing with a cup of coffee and planning on going through the whole paper, not just looking for specific articles.
As far as the advertising went, in the online paper there wasn't any. Not one advertisement about anything, it was a nice change from visiting other online papers like the USA today where the entire perimeter is jam packed with people trying to sell you something. For the print version, the advertising was limited to campus events including Springfest, UB football games, the Distinguished Speakers Series and programs like study abroad. Over all I think that The Spectrum is a well run paper, with informative and interesting topics to read about in that boring class that you can never seem to stay awake in.
