Pay more attention!
Brian Farwell wants the Daily Cal to cover the Virginia Tech killimifcation thingie more. I don't know why he finds national news organizations inadequate to do the job, nor do I know why he thinks the Daily Cal is more capable than national news organizations to cover this.
For this generation of students, this event will mark our lives in the same way that Sept. 11, the Bush-Gore election, the Katrina Hurricane, etc. all did and the Daily Cal barely discussed it and had no images from the event. He wants pictures of dead people, or what? And dude, no one will give a shit about this in a couple of weeks. It is not Sept. 11. Not even close.
However, I am blown away at the lack of coverage for this major story and I think it reflects the distance your paper has to go until it is respected by all UC Berkeley students. The fact that some dude thinks the Daily Cal is up to the task seems to be indicative of a lot of respect, mostly misplaced.
