ABSTRACT
Based upon the findings of the previous chapters, the book concludes that the description of university nonprofits as win-win arrangements is an oversimplification. Being hybrids, the centers attempt to fulfill the ideals of both the newsroom and the classroom at the same time. However, keeping the balance between the two roles is not easy. Especially the learning outcome at the production-oriented centers can be discussed. Not having a proper classroom structure, what the students at these centers learn vary greatly. Instead of uniting the best of two worlds, some of the university nonprofits thus represent a union where the stronger part (the newsroom mission) ends up outperforming the weaker part (the classroom mission). In contrast, the teaching-oriented variant of the model balances the newsroom and classroom role better. Pedagogical-oriented university profits can therefore be said to have created a win-win structure, benefiting both students and the press. Being real hybrids, they can also be part of the solution to the journalism crisis.
