Oh man I really want to write this guy an email and copy the Student Media Adviser...

"Before I receive dozens of letters criticizing this paper for not running The Daily Tar Hell, there is one thing you should be aware of. The decision not to run the spoof paper was mine and mine alone. So if you will, please target any and all criticism of this decision toward me and not members of my staff. For those wondering why I have declined to publish the spoof paper this year, this is your opportunity to get some answers. Like other newspapers, the role of the Technician is to educate and inform its readers, which in this case is you, the student body. By that standard, The Daily Tar Hell does nothing to fulfill that responsibility. I simply have no intention of using the limited resources we have here at the Technician to distract from our goal. Have we always been a bastion of the most important and relevant news for students? No, we haven’t. But the Technician is, at its core, a teaching and learning experience not only for its staff members, but for its readers as well. As for the students who work for the Technician, there’s an opportunity for them to learn new skills and valuable lessons each day. The Technician should always be a forum for student dialogue and can and should be a serious tool for debate and discussion on a variety of matters, not a punch line for the university down Tobacco Road. For those of you looking for the latter, I’m sure there are plenty of blogs, websites and Facebook groups among other forums where you can find plenty of people willing to trash UNC-Chapel Hill and its fans. We aren’t humorless (see Monday’s headline), but we know we aren’t humorists, and we aren’t going to try. If after reading this note, you’re still not satisfied with my reasoning for not running The Daily Tar Hell, feel free to send me a letter at technician-editor@ncsu.edu."

It's sad when someone takes themselves and their job hobby so seriously and isn't even good at what they do.

Thankfully we have TWW Action News team so the Technician, and this drama queen editor, are irrelevant.

The entire "cancel a tradition everyone likes because I want to feel important" thing strikes me as a cry for attention from a guy who doesn't get enough hits on his GLBLT blog (aka he belongs at UNC)

I posted this in the Ravi thread but it's worth putting here too:

Quote :

"He said the technician has "limited resources," and I believe it, and ok fine don't print thousands of copies of a joke newspaper. But why couldn't there be an online edition? This was a great chance for the technician to build some public steam and raise the interest level of student readers. Journalists really need to take more marketing classes."

With UNC's image getting destroyed nation-wide, this would be the perfect time for an online edition that could go viral and in the end create more "resources" for the technician.

1/14/2015 5:44:52 PM

Seriously, you don't even need to be a humorist to completely massacre UNC, especially right now.

1/14/2015 7:21:12 PM

they should just re-publish real actual stories, they make UNC look terrible

1/14/2015 7:35:49 PM

I was about to donate money to the school but I just found out they don't believe in tradition

1/14/2015 7:38:46 PM

We lost because you didn't make a daily tar hell, asshole.

1/14/2015 9:22:42 PM

two more years and no one will even notice it isn't there

I guess he forgot that newspapers are also meant to entertain. What a humorless dickhole.

As I said elsewhere, this tool can't have it both ways. Monday's paper: punch line for the university down Tobacco road. Wednesday: we can't publish a punch line for the university down Tobacco road.

who let this monkey-back take the editor job?? Fire THAT person!!!

what a fucking prick

1/15/2015 1:10:47 PM

I love that even the front page can't reference the right page for the sports section, as it has the sports section being on both page 6 and page 8.

I never fucking read the Technician but I read the DTH almost daily. I know they have a J school here, but damn what a shitty excuse for a paper. Not really worth getting all that self-righteous about Ravi.

1/15/2015 1:48:23 PM

The daily tar heel is pretty shitty too. They use memes as editorial cartoons

1/15/2015 1:54:03 PM

Without the Daily Tar Hell, when can people pretend to care about something in the Technician for once a year?!

1/15/2015 4:40:22 PM

so he asked for people to email him, didn't respond to them, and then copy and pasted their responses into his paper without even telling them??? Is it proper/legal to use an email response in a public newspaper without the person's consent? Even if it is, that is extremely lazy journalism. This must have been the resources that were properly used instead of creating the Daily Tar Hell

this is a very good point. I hope someone follows up on it.

at most newspapers, if you write a "Letter to the editor" (in the figurative sense - usually there's a special address/e-mail to send such letters to) the letter becomes the newspaper's property and it's standard practice for them to print it.

Now, this didn't specifically state that e-mails to him on this subject (which he has solicited ) would be treated as "Letters to the editor," but this seems at least vaguely clear from the context.

He's a douchebag, but I don't terribly mind him printing these letters.

1/15/2015 9:28:48 PM

At the least, it's crap "journalism" and shows this guy's true character. He's a useless fuck that I wish nothing for in his future

1/16/2015 7:55:24 AM

I would write the university, but since I'm not a member of the Alumni Association, and I haven't given NC State a penny since I left (I'm paying back the pennies I've already given them each month), I'm sure my opinion would count for shit.

no daily tar hell: we're printing a serious newspaper not a joke book!

1/16/2015 9:23:40 AM

OMG!!! I'm in the Technician!!! I'm famous!!!!

Would have been nice to know that he wasn't going to respond to the emails at all and was just going to publish what was said. If I had known that, I would've told him how I REALLY felt about him. What a dickface.

Did they actually pose for that? Or is that some crude mid-1980s photoshop?

I bet photoshopping back then was really hard. #deepthoughts

bet they used actual scissors and glue to cut and paste
