[UC] Re: DP reporting, national problem

Ray and list,

What’s disturbing to me is a general pattern that is emerging, as exemplified 
in the DP series on the hotel.  I’ve been reading serious reports about civics 
education not being part of school curriculum, law students without an 
understanding of basic ethics; and as DP readers know, a loss of basic 
principles in journalism.

Young folks today are immersed in a web of marketing.  Newspapers have 
traditional ads, news stories as ads, editorials as ads, and now opinion 
columns as ads.




ha -- and college hall agenda items are to the dp what hair 
removal ads are to a local rag like city paper.


neither paper is in a position to make refusals.

Thanks, Ray! This website shows no mention of any community planning 
process run by PennPraxis in which the community sought to limit 
highrises on 40th St., or hotels on 40th St.


There have been regular Friends of 40th St. meetings. The PennPraxis guy 
who runs them told me to encourage you and anyone else with a view on 
the Campus Inn to show up at them. Did you? If you didn't, exactly how 
is that PennPraxis' fault?


One UC-list poster did write that he had attended a Fo40St meeting 
earlier. He wrote he thought he was in a nursing home and was terrified 
of its security guards. Hint: Campus Inn foes, send your A Team to 
public meetings if you wish to register an impact on policy-making.


So you've supported my point. Numerous people on the waterfront did 
speak up against casinos in a PennPraxis forum, PennPraxis did register 
that, and it affected the final report. Numerous people on 40th St. have 
not spoken up against hotels in a PennPraxis forum, PennPraxis had 
nothing to register, thus nothing to report.
