Subject: This is not a situation where the sports editor of The Ram should be let go. Writing for The Ram is a learning experience. I'm sure he has learned a lesson from this - let him go on from here and become a better journalist.
In reply to: Ram '05 's message, "I am a Fordham student and I know a few people that work on The Ram. It is unconfirmed but I have heard that the editor in chief is very unhappy with the backlash about Cataldos Overtime column and they are considering getting rid of him. Im not positve but it looks like he is on his way out." on Tue March 15, 2005 17:45:30

  • I agree it would be wrong to get rid of the writer. Apparently, he hasn't learned to write convincing humor. It's student journalism, and a learning experience. Ram '91 is exactly correct that the editor in chief who approved the article for publication is in no position to mete out punishment. And if you're going to run for the hills every time something published draws criticism, well, then journalism's not for you. Rather than scapegoat someone, the Ram editorial staff should be conferring on how to recover from this one with a bit of style. Maybe dispatch a writer to write about the charms of Western New York; maybe publish a counterpoint (hopefully not a confirmation) from Fordham students who hail from the area. Or maybe run a series of articles on the economic situation in the rural Northeast (it's rough out there). A thoughtful and creative response is needed. (NT) -- John, Tue March 15, 2005 21:41:26
