The Bottom Line is a new biweekly 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, The Bottom Line provides a printed space for investigative journalism, culturally and socially aware commentary, and engaging reporting that addresses the diverse concerns of our readership, including UCSB and its surrounding community.

We hope that the student photographers, comic artists, opinions writers, and reporters featured in The Bottom Line inform and inspire you.

This is your community to build, share ideas, and publicize your issues and events. So don’t just read – do something!

- The 2007-2008 Bottom Line Staff
