French brings up some very good points. I hope, for the sake of the Plainsman, that they take up some of his points and answer some questions. It's crazy to run an above-the-flag editorial with no warning and no prior coverage... I really hope they don't try to sweep this under the rug. You know? I looked at the web site as objectively as possible today. The paper has potential. There are some genuinely good student writers, and they have started some good things-- the blog is a good thing in theory, for example, but its execution suffers somewhat. If they think outside the box, they could save the paper themselves, without having to rely on the business side for cash. Google Ads, people! Dr. (Mr.?) French brings up some very good points.
