Turmoil at U. of Georgia Newspaper
August 16, 2012 - 4:30am
The editors and editorial staff of The Red & Black, the student newspaper of the University of Georgia, walked out Wednesday night after the university gave editorial control of the publication to the official who used to serve only as an advisor, The Athens Banner-Herald reported. Ed Morales, who now has control of the publication, declined to comment. But students said that since they lose control of the paper, they were being forced to do articles that they did not believe in. The students have set up a blog, Red and Dead, detailing their concerns, including being told, when in doubt, to focus on "good" stories rather than "bad" stories (the latter category including articles that might cast anyone in a bad light).
