Right there is an example of how different editors have different perspectives on what's "right" to cover, and while the two of us disagree about what should be covered, I don't necessarily think SG2 is wrong in any objective sense. I guess the question is what you view your mission as a paper as.

We had limited resources, being a weekly paper not backed by any journalism program. So we could only cover so much, and there was definitely enough going on around campus to keep us busy. My rationale is, where else can students possibly read about campus happenings? Nowhere, of course. That was our first priority and obligation. But for anything else - fashion, lifestyle, world sports - there were lots of other sources for that, from the city newspaper to magazines. If students don't want to read about some topic elsewhere (and you can read pretty much anything free on the web so $ is not an issue), they're going to skip right over it when we cover it, too.
