Anthony,

I know I’m replying to this almost a year late. Sorry.

You’re right in refusing to take down quotes – many alumni might think that the Bruin is like Facebook (namely, that they control the content they provide.) Once on the record, the only control they have is ensuring accuracy – and the burden of proof lies on the source, rather than the paper.

Comment on #Journchat sucks by Suzanne

I thought tonight’s #collegejourn chat was excellent and informative, and I am glad PR was mostly kept to the side.

But I am also glad you brought up the point that this was “sponsored” by The Campus Buzz, as I don’t think many of the participants realized that, including me. That should be made more clear by the mods, and if it isn’t, perhaps you and I can make it clear for next week’s chat.

I too wanted to join in on #journchat but every time I came across a tweet on it, it was about PR. I was really disappointed and can only guess that journalists now refuse to participate since it ends up being just PR talking to each other.

I for one don’t mind that PR is listening in on #collegejourn; that’s their job, and more power to them for wanting to understand us. But if it degenerates into another PR-hijacked chat — which, if the young journos involved are as good as I believe they are, it won’t — we should abandon it.

But I thorougly enjoyed your presence and your input during the chat. Don’t give up on it yet. And if this medium of conversation gets clouded, we simply start a new one elsewhere.

Comment on A security risk? by Anthony

Thanks for the comments. The Bruin is an independent paper, at a public university in California — so we generally have few First Amendment issues to worry about. My reasoning going into this was more of a “choose your battles” mentality.

Is the “Bruin” part of the university? Do you get your funding from them? If not, I’d tell them to screw off, but that’s just me.

If you do get funding from the university, things get a heck of a lot trickier. I know that when I was an undergraduate, my university’s paper, funded by the student government, ignored a lot of illegitimate spending of student monies by student government officials — because the editor of the paper and the student body president happened to be buddies and because, as I understand it, there was some implicit threat to cut the paper’s funding if any stories ran.

Well, the stories did run, and the paper still took a lot of gruff for it. I don’t think the funding was cut, though the editor did resign after the scandal.

My point is this: college journalism funded by colleges is a first amendment mess. College journalism without college funding is an economic mess. Where’s the happy medium?

I’m not so sure it will be a “happy” medium even if we ever do find it.

Comment on A security risk? by Adam

Adam — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:22:18 +0000

As a photojournalist, I’ve heard tons of horror stories about people being prevented from doing their job under the guise of “security.” Much of the time, this judgment call is made by people unqualified to make such a decision or without significant evidence to back it up. Looking at this situation, it seems similar—then again, I don’t know the intricacies of what was discussed or about your relationship with the university. Still, my gut instinct would be to put up at least some resistance and make it clear to administrators that perhaps they should put more effort into true security rather than trying to censor what is obviously public information.
