Letters From The Editors
February 18th, 2008 A quick note about the NIU shootingsBy CHAD SMITH, EditorThis morning I came into this newsroom and got one call regarding our coverage – or lack thereof – of the tragedy at Northern Illinois University. I have also gotten one letter about the issue, so I thought I would address it here, because several readers might have been scratching their heads about why that wasn’t front-page news.February 12th, 2008 In regards to 'Painted guns resembling toys pose threat to officers'By Chad Smith, Editor Devin Culclasure, Managing Editor / Print, and Megan Taylor, Managing Editor / OnlineOn Thursday, Feb. 8, we ran an article based on a report from the Gainesville Police Department about guns painted to look like toys. GPD provided us with a photo, which we ran in the paper and online. As far as we knew, the entire issue was about disguising guns in order to confuse law enforcement.February 11th, 2008 Commenting made easierBy Megan TaylorDue to a number of issues that came up last semester with open comments, we turned on registration for comments at the beginning of this semester.January 31st, 2008 Don’t quote me on thatBy CHAD SMITH, EditorMany times, reporters’ sources will want to have some say in whatJanuary 23rd, 2008 Working out the kinksBy CHAD SMITH / EditorAn observant, if bored, reader e-mailed me last week noting that there seemed to be more spelling errors in the paper as of late. The reader wondered whether it was because of new-semester blues or something along those lines.January 20th, 2008 The new Gainesville Explorer projectBy Megan Taylor, Managing Editor / OnlineOn Monday we launched a new project, called Gainesville Explorer.January 15th, 2008 New semester, new AlligatorBy DEVIN CULCLASURE, Managing Editor / PrintWell, my first stimulating albeit frustrating week as managing editor has come to a close. Although the 50-hour workweeks, late nights and massive amounts of paper-shuffling will still take some getting used to – not to mention my rapidly disappearing social life – I am still excited about the opportunity to help set which direction the Alligator heads this semester.January 7th, 2008 Another semester onlineBy MEGAN TAYLOR, Managing Editor / OnlineSo we just got the first paper of the new semester up. I'm continuing my reign as managing editor / online, but with many of the Web site issues already ironed out, hopefully we'll have more time to work on new features and projects.November 19th, 2007 The new Web site: grumbles and groansBy MEGAN TAYLORIn the last couple of days there have been a number of comments posted to the Alligator Web site with complaints about the site being down and finding articles difficult. |
