It's good to know that I do have a few readers. In all honesty, once I saw the AP story I have been waiting to write something like this as a joke. (I actually figured that would be how you search for articles.) The other two articles couldn't have been more generic for UNH. ( I mean who here doesn't hate clickers and their advisors?) I almost called you guys out for a swine flu article, but I wanted to keep it at the UNH level. I will definitely keep reading, and I actually enjoy when we have similar topics. It goes to show how the majority of the students feel about the university.The New Hampshiritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02451642892012976773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986803737547990443.post-64521728095605596962009-05-03T17:26:00.000-04:002009-05-03T17:26:00.000-04:00Or have you been coming to TNH writers' meetings a...Or have you been coming to TNH writers' meetings and stealing our ideas? Keep in mind that our stories are stories are usually assigned the week before they appear in the paper, and some far earlier that that. Advising is something we write about every year, and we were trying to find a writer for the clicker story since last semester (there was one editor in particular that was obsessed with the issue).<br /><br />As far as the AP story, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but we don't put that much thought into what we run in terms of wire. We search for key words on our wire services (university, college, facebook, students, teenagers, new hampshire etc.) and choose the ones that are most relevant. Then we use the ones that are long enough to fill the holes we have.<br /><br />We do, however, keep our eye on on certain blogs and other newspapers for stories we may have missed. It's not unusual, we've had dozens of stories "copied" by Foster's Daily Democrat and the Union Leader this year. Someone once said "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" but that doesn't stop it from being annoying.<br /><br />Keeping reading....and writing, we don't want to run out of ideas.
