'Post' losing integrity
Mar. 6, 2008Over the past couple of weeks, I feel it necessary to let you know how I feel about The Post as of late. Mistakes are being made constantly. Information is either incorrect to begin with or sources are not reliable. Do not get me wrong; I read the newspaper every day and enjoy doing so. With that said, I feel that the editor in chief needs to be much more careful in the future about what is being printed in The Post. I am not going to blame anybody for his or her articles; I am sure that he or she at the time felt the right thing was being done. I do, however, feel that your staff needs to be lectured on how to accurately collect information before submitting it to a newspaper that is read by thousands of people every day. It seems as if every week I read about something that has been incorrect. An e-mail yesterday evening, a front-page apology from the editor in chief a week or two ago. The integrity of the newspaper is going down hill. I do not pretend to think that I know how to be the editor of the newspaper; I just feel that in my time spent here in Athens, this year I have read about far too many wrongdoings than in any year before.
