Biographical or Historical Information

Tell Me More News Magazine was established in 1976 as an active project in collegiate, extra-curricular publication. It was conceived and staffed by students of Purdue University Calumet. Its purpose was to inform the student body of Purdue University Calumet and to serve as a voice for that student body. The magazine also gave the students opportunities to participate in journalistic interaction since it was entirely student run. The students who initially formed Tell Me More magazine wanted it to be a means of communication among students, faculty, and administration rather than a public relations instrument. Tell Me More was led by the Editor-in-Chief. The magazine was comprised of three departments, Business, Writing, and Visual Production, which were each headed by a Departmental Editor. Each department had Sub-departmental Editors to oversee the rest of the general staff. Each prospective member had to apply to Tell Me More and staff selection was made by Department Editors and finalized by the Editor-in-Chief.
