After being part of the calm fifth period journalism class of 2008-2009, I expected current reporters to be just as dedicated and quiet. Sometimes I wonder if I am to blame for people’s rowdiness and lack of commitment. But I guess the individuals in our class create that atmosphere, and we can’t change that without having completely different people.
I hoped we would be able to maintain the print edition, web edition and TP version of our paper, but after the first few months of disorganization, I realized this would all be too much to handle, even without TPs. I’m disappointed that people are starving for mere points, rather than the satisfaction of publishing solid articles. Both web and print articles aren’t as good as they can be because editors don’t push reporters enough. I caught myself slacking off when it comes to editing articles. After Yama asked us to pick his best stories, I tried to help him make his first column piece his greatest work by editing it thoroughly. Since then, I’ve been nit-picky about story content. (Thank you, Yama!)
