Mission Statement
The Bottom Line is a growing weekly newspaper sponsored by the Associated Students of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Created in early 2007 in response to concerns there should be another newspaper on campus, TBL provides a printed and online space for investigative journalism, culturally and socially aware commentary, and engaging reporting that addresses the diverse concerns of its readership, including UCSB and its surrounding community. TBL hopes that the student contributors inform and inspire you.
