If this was the case, The Los Angeles Times would have been arrested a long time ago. Slow news days are a fact of journalism life. We should be more thankful that the copy editors have learned to be better space managers. The issues covered in the past week have also been the most diverse I have ever seen in The Daily. In the past three days alone, six stories have been written on minority interest and many others on other interest groups on campus.
Objectivity is the only measure if a good newspaper.
Ledes have been written better. The opinions page has done away with those silly 26-graph columns about the how bad the food is at Late Night and has focused on issues that the opinion columnists actually care about. That is where good copy on the opinion page starts. And that is why the quality of opinion letters has increased. I wrote for The Daily last year, but the overall incompetence and incredibly bad copy that was consistently put out forced me to quit.
