A quarter-century later our oldest daughter, Leigh Munsil, served as State Press Editor. Our oldest son, Will Munsil, was a columnist while in law school, and another son, Michael Munsil, was a copy editor. I'm guessing 5 family members and 3 Editors is probably a family record. I certainly understand the technological changes affecting the newspaper industry and the need for digital news to move online.Nevertheless, it saddens me.
For me, State Press was college.
Read more alumni memories. I have too many memories to recall from my time at the State Press. But one that stands out is the day that ASU hired Bruce Itule as the Manager of Student Publications. The previous year there was a lot of tension between the previous manager and the student staff. He was a good man, but there was just bad chemistry. Bruce was the perfect pick, which was why I pleaded with the university task force to recommend hiring him, because of his solid newspaper credentials, even though they wanted someone with more university experience. Fortunately they made the right choice, hired the right man, and we all benefited, especially our student journalists. Steve Waterstrat Editor, 1985-86 Read more alumni memories.
ASU was where I was educated, but the State Press newsroom (basement of the Matthews Center) was where I was formed. I'm no longer a journalist by occupation, but not a week goes by where I don't use something I learned in that 'dungeon.' I'm on the hiring committee of a Phoenix law firm, and I regularly use skills I learned hiring student journalists for the paper. The peers, advisers, mentors and lifelong friends I made at the State Press still feature prominently in my life. Case in point: My first glimpse of my future husband came while I was covering a night cops reporting shift and he was with a group of dorm-mates carefully following all of the rules and procedures applicable to the Honors College dorms. He went on to become an opinion columnist and editor at the paper, and I progressed to city editor, managing editor, night editor (until the late nights got to me), and eventually editor-in-chief. Carefully preserving Tom Blodgett's poor, tortured fanny pack for future posterity was also an incredible highlight from those years.
Tom Blodgett let us know about the last printed issue. (Above) is a photo from the acknowledgements section of a new fiction book, "Jex Malone," that I wrote with my best friend and former State Press colleague Cindy Pearlman (1984-87). As you can see, State Press was our true home at ASU. Real, lifelong friendships came from that experience and it will hold a special place in our hearts forever.I have a million great memories from State Press, including a $1 bill from my first paycheck there. It was the first money I'd earned as a writer — and thankfully not the last. I've always felt privileged to earn my living as a writer and I owe so much to State Press. Best wishes to the whole crew — you have us cheering for you!

What I took away from that day, however, was how comforted I felt by spending the entire day and evening in the dungeon. We watched the events unfold as a State Press family. We were shocked together and saddened together and worked hard together to put out a new edition from scratch. Especially with so many of us who didn't have family near us, we were each other's family that day and we were the ultimate comfort for each other.
It was a tradition that design/managing editor Ben Berkley — now a managing editor at The Onion — came up with to both promote good design and hold us accountable for bad front pages.
We had covered the presidential debate on campus from every angle our staff could handle. I was glad to have served as editor-in-chief that semester and that night, putting the final touches on our front page coverage of a too-close-to-call presidential race, I was so proud to work at The State Press.

I went to the backshop and found the front page had a thumbnail-sized hole of white space in the middle of it. I pointed it out, and Amy said something like “I don't know, that’s what your dummy says.”
I learned more about journalism at The State Press than I ever could have in any classroom. Actually doing the work instead of just learning about it was invaluable. I carry on today many of the lessons I learned there.
I may be biased, but my favorite print cover of The State Press was Sugar Babies. One night I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business when our then editor-in-chief, Caitlin Cruz, called me over to look at my nails. Though slightly confused, I showed her them and she asked me to paint them red for a photo we needed the next day. Sure enough, the next day I was posing for the cover of Sugar Babies with some red lipstick, hot red nails and $2,000 cash in my hands. I believe we got the money from our investigative reporter's student loan check. The shoot also required some slightly awkward modeling poses with our sports editor, Edmund Hubbard. It was a really fun cover to put together and it was an odd but memorable experience to see my face on the front of every news box on campus for a week.
