The Berkeley News site is derided as 'Boring Administration Announcements' on my sidebar, but that really isn't fair. It collects everything about Berkeley, even the Emma Goldman-esque stuff that's not entirely complimentary. That plus the faculty change announcements, scientific breakthroughs, etc. And now there's supposed to be a major upgrade into a 'Newscenter.' next week

Starting next week, you'll find a new way to keep abreast of everything that's happening at UC Berkeley with the debut of a daily online NewsCenter. This news portal will feature research news, campus developments, student newsmakers, the latest sports headlines, a Critic's Choice of campus events for the coming week, multimedia features and lots more, updated each day to keep you up-to-date. Bookmark it at NewsCenter.berkeley.edu, and come back next week for all the news that's fit to post.

Sounds interesting, and potentially controversial. Student newsmakers? Does that include politics? I'm sure we can all agree that Mr. Shingavi is a newsmaker, whatever other opinion you might have. Critic's Choice? Does that include rallies? And most importantly, will they give the Cal Blogs a passing nod?
