A lot of things going on now

Everything is spinning really fast now, and there is so much to do with the journalistic election stuff.

As I predicted, there has been criticism against our article last week. The dean that was most in the spotlight has written a long entry as a comment on the article, where he says that he hasn’t done anything wrong, we have misquoted him, we are a disgrace for the school, yada, yada, yada. Also the two incumbents that was mentioned has criticized us. But they went straight to the school’s president. Not to us. Directly to the president. One of the also called me Wednesday and commented that he didn’t think he was treated fairly.

But we are four journalists that has been working on this. We know ehat questions we have asked, what answers we have got. We have our backs covered. Just because this is high profile men they won’t be able to scare us.

There has been two debates this week for all the candidates. Thursday it was really heated up Thursday when incumbent board president got in to a verbal fight with the leader of the challengers, former SB mayor Marty Blum. She accused the board to have taken money from charity to use for a PR person for them self. The president was furious and said stuff like “you should just be quiet, you don’t know anything about this, you weren’t there”.

But now is it like this, we at The Channels have received a document showing that they actually have hired a PR person. There will be an interesting article this Wednesday…

This was on the front page of The Daily Sound after Thursday’s debate. I’m on the front page of an American newspaper! Or, at least the back of my head…

Other things, not related to the election. Christoffer and Lidia have moved out. They are leaving for Brazil in a couple of weeks, and they will stay with a friend up until then. Nima, who lived in my house last semester, have now moved in here.

Went to the football game yesterday. Thanks to my new press ID I could go down to the field and take photos there and see the game very closely. It was a really exciting game. Even up until the last minutes, both teams fumbled and lost the ball. With one minute to go, the opponents Southwest LA could win the game with just doing a touchdown. Instead they dropped the ball, and Vaquerors made a 70 yard pass to a guy that ran free along the sideline. Thereafter they scored a touchdown, and won the game. First home victory for Vaquerors. So beautiful play and so cool to be right by the side line to see it up close.

Nice spot, by the sideline

I also took photos of this team. More photos on facebook
