University of Utah Newspaper Scandal Investigated

     The nine University of Utah student journalists responsible for the subliminal messages in their paper, The Daily Utah Chronicle, are under investigation according to City Weekly.  The website said:

     "Nine University of Utah graduating seniors and former staff members of the Daily Utah Chronicle received an e-mail alerting them that there has been a hold placed on their records after a traditional newspaper staff farewell gag caught the attention of administrators. Editors at the paper, as they have for at least a decade, arranged for the drop-cap letters in a series of farewell columns to spell out [sex organs]."

     The nine students were allegedly told that their actions violated the University's Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, basically, a watered down honor code. Spelling out inappropriate words in the last edition of the paper has been an annual tradition; although this is the first time writers for the Chronicle could face consequences for the prank.

     "I'm kind of flabbergasted," outgoing editor in chief, Rachel Hanson said. "I don't think they've done this to the Chronicle before. This is a new, extreme step they've taken. I don't know if they intend to scare us ... or really keep us from graduating."

University of Utah Student Newspaper Sends Subliminal Message

National Enquirer Up For Pulitzer Prize

     The Pulitzer Prize is one of the highest honors a journalist can receive.  As a symbol of distinguished and quality journalism, it showcases the profession's highest ideals of truth, fairness, and loyalty to citizens - ideals found in publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and, wait for it, The National Enquirer.

     The Pulitzer Prize Board has accepted The National Enquirer's submission for the story of Democratic Presidential candidate John Edward's mistress to be considered for an award according to The Huffington Post.  Giving a supermarket tabloid even the chance to be considered for an award is an unprecedented move.

     "It galls most mainstream newspaper editors that a tawdry tabloid could be considered for their most vaunted prize. It's like nominating a porn flick for an Oscar," wrote an editor of The San Fransisco Examiner.

     The Enquirer will be up for two awards, "Investigative Reporting" and "National News Reporting" for single-handedly uncovering a story that no major news organization would touch.  Their reporting brought to light Edwards' affair with a campaign staffer, a child he had with the woman, and the cover-up that ensued.
