Gauntlet angers Gazette editor, sickens also

By Greg Harris

An editorial in the Oct. 7 Gauntlet (“A brief history, told in present tense”) claims the U of C Gazette “would not run a feature about Shell Oil’s involvement in Nigeria simply because Shell Oil gives this university a dump truck full of money.”

For the record, no one on Gazette staff has ever been asked to print a feature on Shell Oil in Nigeria. However, if Shell Oil in Nigeria became a matter of pressing interest to the university community, then Gazette would report on it. We also provide space both for letters to the editor and for longer opinion pieces, in which faculty, staff and students can address any topic of concern to the campus.

The same Gauntlet editorial states that student journalists “have to be right” in what they print. The other essential requirement of volunteer writers is described as “fire in your belly.” Given your egregious disregard for accuracy, I can only say, “Pass the Tums.”

  2. Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other
    person’s weblog link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar in support of you.

  4. My brother suggested I might like this web site. He was
    entirely right. This post actually made my day.
    You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this information!
    Thanks!

  7. Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring
    on other websites? I have a blog centered on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would enjoy your work.
    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e-mail.
