Report card gets it wrong
A letter to the editor
April 11, 2010 4:46 PM ADT
Dear Editor,
I’m writing to express my continued frustration and disappointment with the Brunswickan this academic year. Last week’s issue contained a report card littered with inconsistencies. For example, the Bruns simultaneously gave an “A” to the VP responsible for SU entertainment while giving an “N/A” to SU Entertainment. Apparently the Bruns Editorial Board is unaware of the responsibilities of executive members, which casts doubt on the reliability of their reporting.
It is my opinion that the Bruns doesn’t take itself seriously enough. You hold the ears of students; what you publish will remain on file forever online and in the HIL Microforms department. Employers googling prospective employee’s names are going to come across what you print. You have a serious impact on this campus but I don’t see that reflected in the way you report.
I hold the entire Editorial Board accountable for what I consider sub-par journalism. You owe Catrin Berghoff a sincere apology for last week’s “F.” Since this letter will also be archived in perpetuity, I’m taking this opportunity to give Catrin an “A” for her hard work this year as CRO. And I humbly submit that my opinion is more informed than that of the Bruns - that is to say informed at all.
Sincerely,
Ash Furrow
