Oct. 24, 2014Athens’ annual Halloween Block Party is only a day away, and we’re excited to kick off the celebration.With that feeling in mind, we’ve focused much of today’s Post content on the annual end-of-October bash. While we realize the last thing you’re looking for before heading out the door is some required reading, today’s Post stories cover everything you need to know before making your way Uptown.Our stories cover how local law enforcement is keeping the uptown area safe, why your cell phone won’t be working Saturday night and the sanitation concerns resulting from the influx of visitors. That’s in addition to our performance schedule and annual rundown of how Ohio University deals with underage consumption violations.As we’ve said before, the party is a great time, but it’s important to take extra precautions to make sure you stay safe. We’ll be out Saturday night to chronicle the block party, uploading slices of Athens to our website and social media feeds for the world to see. Follow our live coverage on Twitter (@ThePost), Instagram (@ThePostPhoto) and Facebook (ThePostAthens).All the while, please consider that you don’t want to do something this weekend that will make the wrong kind of headlines. We don’t want to put you on our front page for doing something you’ll come to regret.And, no, we can’t remove the story from our website 10 years from now when you land that big job interview.Have a happy block party, Bobcats.Editorials represent the majority opinion of The Post’s executive editors.

Letter: ‘Post’ coverage of #HandsUpWalkOut rally not done properly
Oct. 24, 2014On Wednesday, The Post published a Streetview piece that interviewed five individuals with the prompt, “Do you think the #HandsUpWalkOut rally was effective for the cause?” Four of the five individuals interviewed were white. Let’s get something straight: #HandsUpWalkOut is about the struggles of people of color in our justice system. It’s about institutionalized racism that disproportionately affects black communities. When The Post chose to only publish interviews with white community members, they perpetuated the very issue that #HandsUpWalkOut is trying to fight: a lack of diversity, a lack of voices from individuals other than the privileged majority. I am not blaming The Post. I’m sure this is something they didn’t even consider when they went out to gather interviews and pictures that day. But that is no excuse. They published pictures of white people who don’t even seem to actively participate in the rally and march, holding their hands up and appropriating a symbol of injustice that they most likely have never had to experience. Media holds a lot of power in our society, and it is no different on this campus: the narratives that they choose to include or exclude reflect the larger issues of systemic oppression. This is not “poor race relations”... this is institutionalized racism. Caitlyn McDaniel is a senior studying war and peace studies and the vice president of Student Senate.
