According to their own website, The Prox “is a blog about campus life, issues, and events at Princeton University hosted by The Daily Princetonian and written by staff from several departments, including Opinion and Web.” We like it because it has a recurring section entitled “Diggin’ in the Mudd” that features materials from our holdings. Authored by Martha Vega, she also photographs and then posts items to the site, and, most important from our point of view, gives us credit! One fun feature of the blog is that certain phrases and sentences are written but struck-out like this, so that you can read the straight news or a more sarcastic interpretation. I guess this is so Martha doesn’t ruin her chances to work for the Wall Street Journal some day.
