ydn and sigep

by: L

While sig ep is certainly bad, the actions of the YDN, and particularly last year’s leadership, are much more harmful. Theoretically, the YDN is supposed to be a neutral arbitrator of opinions and ideas. When the editors of last year allow allegiance to sig ep to cloud those duties, the paper as a whole fails. This needs to be publicized.

"YDN is supposed to be a neutral arbitrator "

Just because you say this does not make it so. YDN doesn't owe you anything.

So the YDN is supposed to pick favorites when it comes to which assaults from which frats to cover? That’s not fair and balanced journalism.

YDN does owe us. YDN makes a pledge to publish honest and unbiased news with the exception of the "Opinion" section. Everyone who knows anything about news knows this. They're also supposedly the oldest daily college newspaper so yes, they owe the Yale student body better than this.

People who want to control content at YDN should take the first step of applying to be a YDN staff writer, build a reputation, and seek appointment to be a YDN editor. That's how it actually works.

When all of the Pi Phi rumors were going around about racially biased recruitment, which IMO is WAY WAY less true than the FACTUAL things that happened at SigEp, people were posting about it and writing about it in the YDN after the Rumpus article went viral. Maybe Rumpus will pick up on the SigEp stuff first and YDN will follow, but it really shouldn't take a humorous publication doing it first for the most legitimate news source to write about this.
