I don't at all disagree with questioning sources, but I'd rather call attention to the lack of provided sources. Going all-in on her bio reads as pretty mean-spirited as opposed to truth-seeking.
This is worth a second response. In 1999, we ran out of reporters without considering that the State of the University was that night. So, who's picked to cover this? Worst possible choice: me.
Great. Columnist sent to cover hard news.
Excerpts include UW President Richard McCormick "stressed the need for panhandling" on A1.
Someone sends me to cover a field I'm not familiar with? That's malpractice.
I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt as allegedly they're fully student-run but I defer to your experience in journalism.
It's certainly a crucial part of the path. But that's at GA. By the time you're doing specialist reporting?
