What do you think?
A piece was written in the Southern University DIGEST concerning the probation of greek organization due to hazing, but that isn't the point of this post.
From reading the feedback it seems as if many feel that the article shouldn't have been written because it placed negative attention on the organization.
As student-journalists we often get flack for printing NEWS, if the local city paper writes something bad about a greek organization no one says a word, but when the student paper prints something everyone is up in arms, this happens with crime stories and greek stories mainly.
Do you think administrators should censor what goes in the paper for the sake making everyone LOOK GOOD instead of being honest with the public? It seems that they don't mind when good things are published but when the bad news is published everyone is upset. How are the newspapers facing this challenge supposed to get real experience if they have to worry about upsetting certain groups of people?
