Though the editorial and advertising departments may disagree at times, no serious problems have surfaced in about five years, Hendrick said.
Separating the newsroom and advertising are two large glass windows and a wall. Inouye said that she wants to open the door between the two departments even more than it has been in the past.
"I would like to work more with editorial - not have it so closed off," she said.
Journalism associate professor and adviser Richard Craig said Hornberg handled the news department well this semester, despite the nature of some of the events that occurred.
"I think we had a really strong paper this year," Craig said. "We did very well in awards, both regionally and nationally. Considering that we turn the staff over every semester, I think we're doing an amazing job."
Hendrick's opinion of the paper parallels Craig's.
"The design, the photography, the stories, just the overall feel of the paper has been exceptionally good," Hendrick said. "We measure that because we don't have them leftover in the racks. Students are taking them."
The Spartan Daily is student run and is the best way for students to learn the art of reporting and editing, Craig said .
"We know people are going to make mistakes and this is the venue where you learn from those," Craig said. "We walk the line between trying to teach people the right way to do things, but also sometimes letting them learn from their mistakes."
