I'm starting an independent school newspaper. I'm fed up with the one run by the administration. That's my draft of the opening article. I hope to go to press next week, if I get enough people to submit articles.

You should ask for an occassional guest editorial from a member of The Cellar and then publish it in your paper under the heading:

I think I'd just cut that bit, and leave it as "founded in protest upon libertarian and free ideals to provide an alternative to the school-run media."
Good luck with the paper! |

I agree with Chocolatl, it's redundant to say it is founded on both libertarian ideals and a libertarian base/basis. I'd also add commas just to make sure it's clear:
"...founded in protest, upon libertarian and free ideals, to provide an alternative to the school-run media." |

Ibram, I think this is a great idea. I hope you have wild success with it.
Oh, and I imagine that founding an independent school newspaper would look great on a college application. |

I agree, except for the rich part.
More like, anarchy for reasonable people, or something like that.

Go for it, Ibram. It will be a worthy thing to try, though it will not be entirely smooth sailing.

Welcome Rocketjsquirrel! So... how'd you come up with that name? Ibram, how's the paper going? Why don't you start a lonely-hearts column in it? I always wanted to see a lonely hearts column with three classifications: Men seeking Women, Women seeking Men, and Odds and Sods.
