This year, I have been a faithful reader of The Communicator. Week after week, I have been bothered by the fact there seems to be less and less actual news. In this week’s issue, there are 11 pages excluding the front cover. Of these 11 pages, two of them are filled with what I would refer to as “nonsense.” Perhaps instead of printing fake “news,” those two pages could be devoted to the many student organizations on campus. There are plenty of real events and activities on campus hosted by student organizations that I am sure students would be interested in learning about. As a member of a very active organization myself, I know that groups are always looking to promote their message and boost their membership whenever possible and a section in The Communicator would provide them the tools to accomplish those goals … now that would be news that would be worthwhile reading. Maybe there are students who actually enjoy “The Nugget,” but I am not one of them.

I couldn’t agree more, Kyle. I subscribe to The Communicator’s RSS feed, and strangely enough, the only articles that I get to read each week are from The Nugget. How does that make The Communicator look? Very poor, in my opinion. Have your writers start focusing less on fake news, and have them take aim at the stories that actually have something to do with the university.
