By Denise Tessier As a follow-up to the post on the importance of the Associated Press admonition against use of “illegals” in covering immigration, two further examples of powerful word choice by news organizations, both national and local, merit discussion. The first involves a national obituary and its poor choice in word-phrase placement, which has […]

More Shocking Than Sex: Censorship of Student Journalism
March 29th, 2013 · 1 Comment · journalism
By Denise Tessier It’s a timely coincidence that the Spring issue of UNM’s alumni magazine Mirage featured four former editors and the current editor of the UNM Daily Lobo addressing the value of “an independent student newspaper.” It’s timely because it came just days before Central New Mexico Community College administrators shut down CNM’s student […]

Journalistic Sins

By Arthur Alpert Today I was going to remind us that Albuquerque Journal editors remain masters of the misleading headline.
