Comments on: The Tattler: B-CC’s Finest Publication http://tattlerextra.org/2009/12/the-tattler-b-cc%e2%80%99s-finest-publication/ B-CC HS Student Newspaper Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:11:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Amy Heaton http://tattlerextra.org/2009/12/the-tattler-b-cc%e2%80%99s-finest-publication/comment-page-1/#comment-420 Amy Heaton Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:57:10 +0000 http://tattlerextra.org/?p=2377#comment-420 Tena, I have to agree that the Tattler isn't exactly the best publication... and I'm on the staff! I think that you went about this rather strongly, because I do respect the fact that the other publications at B-CC are very well done. While our writing could be better, I take pride in my work and try very hard to get information that is as accurate and well-written as possible. It is sad to see such a lack of interest in journalism, but I suppose it is a vicious cycle; no one joins the paper, so it lacks quality, and those who have the interest and the ability are turned away. But still, I think we do the best with what and who we have, and that some people should settle down with thier responses. It was kind-of a joke, anyways.

Many of the articles in the Tattler are not only poorly written (and in multiple cases contain incorrect information), but pertain to events which everyone knows about as they happened months ago. Some would say the articles about the WBC are informative...I tend to think they're a waste of space While much of your advice is reasonable (yearbook pricing, Wake Up BCC at the beginning of class), the fact that you had to blast these other outlets is downright appalling. BCC's media and creative outlets should support and encourage each other, as opposed to competing.
