Students for Liberation recently published an editorial on the online publication The Pub explaining the issues they had with the Old Gold & Black’s coverage of their Columbus Day protest. I would like to respond to many of the claims made in their editorial and defend the Old Gold & Black’s reporting on this protest.
The editor who wrote this story took it upon himself to ensure that this event was covered. When he could not find a staff writer to cover the event, he decided to cover it himself, even though he had to skip class to do so.
