Beth Slovic still hates us, just FYI
Saturday, October 16, 2010
Willamette Week super-sleuth Beth Slovic picked up on a hot news lead this week: our poster debacle from the beginning of the year (You remember… this [also this this this and this]). The best part is reading the comments from people who think they have exciting and new perspectives on the whole thing. Plus someone trying to troll-bait Lyell Asher.
As you’ll perhaps recall, the previous entry in Beth’s ongoing series of sensationalizing months-stale tidbits of Lewis & Clark student politics is the reason this is a valid Google search.
P.S. Thanks Angela Webber (’10) for linking me to the Willamette Week’s coverage.

To be fair, she’s about the only journalist who writes anything about LC. And we so seldom do something _good_ that’s actually _news_.
Yes, but her totally weak-ass attempts at muck raking are both stupid and boring, so that still doesn’t make her much of a reporter.
Hey, Cary:
Thanks for this post. All things considered, I think Beth wrote a pretty straightforward story and I appreciate that. I do question the idea that we rarely do anything good that is newsworthy. I have a laundry list of dozens of stories me and my colleagues shared with reporters this year that weren’t picked up. No doubt competing interests and precious little time play a big role in any reporter’s inability to respond but I think one sad factor is that it is presumed by business people in the world of journalism that good news doesn’t sell papers the way bad news does — especially for a publication like Willamette Week which has a certain bent.
