All in Good Humor?
04/1/2011
Like the photo, one would hope so. As usual my iPhone bleeps throughout the day to inform me of something I probably didn’t need to know. Although this particular bleep was interesting. An April Fools article by the “rival newspaper.” Wait, I forgot there not a newspaper but a 24/7 online news organization. While I really have no beef with them, I still cannot understand why the majority of their tweets are through the automatic connection with their Facebook page? If your a true 24/7 online news source don’t you interact with your user base through Twitter, not just have it setup as a repeater?
Anyways I’ll breakdown their points and mine:
Despite their aversion for competition, The Journal has shown that they are not in any way fearful about being a part of the dying industry of printed newspapers. Instead, they just learned from our example and created a website of their own.
According to WHO.IS our website was registered on 09-05-2000, theirs 05-31-2006. As Charlie Sheen would say, “Winning.” 1pt Journal, 0pt Voice
The Suffolk Voice began publishing an April First Edition, the Journal began doing the same; sadly, however, theirs doesn’t actually come out on the first.
Didn’t these kids in elementary school learn that “first is worst, second is best, third is the one with the treasure chest?” Maybe not. As for getting sued, I wasn’t present at the University than, but it’s publicity. 1pt Journal, 1pt Voice
The Journal has continued to rise above the attrition, and quite literally when their office was moved to the fifth floor of Donahue, away from the rest of the student organizations located on the fourth floor.
Again I wasn’t here for that move, but isn’t sharing caring? We had to take a hit so 10 organizations or some ridiculous amount of clubs could share that office. Rumor has it the radio station couldn’t take our staffs DJ skills, so the InterFaith center welcomed us as new neighbors. Yeah we have an actual DJ on our staff… 1pt Journal, 1pt Voice
That second to last paragraph, doesn’t really make sense or fit in with the article, so I’m not going to even quote it. As for the last paragraph, I can’t define improvement as still being on CollegePublisher, which that $1,995.00 invoice is going to be due soon. Also ACP > SGA. Yeah, #Winning.
It’s April Fools so I’ll let you decide how to take this. The opinions reflected in this post are those of my own and do not represent those of any organization or employer I am affiliated with.
