Media coverage yesterday and today
Permalink Closed

I was browsing around and saw Matt Hinton's article in the 4/29/04 Student Printz that says the media at the hearing was "strictly local."  How accurate is his perception?


Assuming it is accurate, why is the popular media not jumping on this story? Even though they love to play the anti-intellectual populist card, you'd think they could find an audience with this story. Even more puzzling, why is the national academic media letting things pass without comment?

Your last question is one that is puzzling me, as well.  What was revealed in Hattiesburg on Wednesday -- especially about e-mail snooping -- has HUGE implications for faculty everywhere.  Academe, which should be a refuge of the mind and an area protected for free thought, now seems in danger of being one of the most heavily policed areas in modern society, if only because e-mail and computers are so prevalent there.
