I had no idea it would be this big...
A little over a month ago, I took on a story for Indiana Wesleyan University's student newspaper, The Sojourn about a seemingly innocent change in an IWU-run convenience store. They pulled a drink from store shelves. They rejected two others. But the story here comes from why they rejected the drinks.
You can read the story here to get the full picture.
After the article was published, IWU's campus erupted with student reaction, and recently, a letter to the editor was published on The Sojourn's website, and has generated as much student response on our website as anything I have ever seen.
Next, the Pepsi Cola Company (which owns one of the banned drinks) found out about the story and has been hounding the university with phone calls about why the drinks are not on shelves.
Finally, a couple of larger media outlets (MSNBC?) have heard about the story and might even run it themselves.
This could get interesting...
