Post Letter: 'Post' disappoints, waits too long to cover Reader tenure story
Feb. 1, 2010We write this letter as journalism students who feel that The Post has slacked in what should be its primary job: reporting the news. Last Friday, Assistant Professor Bill Reader of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism went before a Faculty Senate committee to appeal for his job. Professor Reader has been in the middle of a vicious tenure battle for the better part of a year now. What has resulted is a vicious attack on his character from what we feel are unsubstantiated claims. Furthermore, one of the most unfortunate aspects of this situation is that, until Monday, The Post failed to report what was happening. Instead, they chose to utilize a wait-and-see approach.
