Actually, since the editor said this was a time and money issue, we have decided to hold a bake sale.
Dale in Littleton came up with our poster, and my cookies are cooling even as I type. I'm calling them Free Press Cookies, and they are in the shape of the Communist star with Red Icing!
Here is my recent blog update with Dales text for the flyer in the body of it:
Boulder Daily Camera Intern Jeff Cushing - Click on the photo to get to the most recent thread talking about this story of the Boulder Daily Camera not sharing footage of the Gathering of Eagles at the Denver Anti War Rally.
Also, Please note, Mr. Cushing was holding the flyer I printed out about the Gathering of Eagles in his right hand as he taped me. I handed it to him as he began to interview.
His report showed up on the Daily Camera Web Site: Please Go Here to view it.
Dale in Littleton is helping me to organize a bake sale on the CU campus to help raise funds to pay for the Camera Intern to get honest about his reporting. Along with the picture above, he made up a flyer that contained these words:
"Boulder Daily Camera Intern Jeff Cushing at Denver Gathering of Eagles 3/17/2007
I will speak with my intern about his interviewing techniques. I just looked at his final video, and it does not include the footage he took of you or your group. Unfortunately, we don't have the time or resources required to post the several hours of video that he probably took. Again, I'm sorry that you were offended, and I am planning on speaking with him today about the event. ----- Jennifer Falor -- Online Editor DailyCamera.com
Again, he is an intern, unpaid at that. The internship is a learning experience and I will speak to him about your issues. ----- Jennifer Falor -- Online Editor DailyCamera.com
Bake Sale --- Teaching and Paying for REQUIRED Balance in media reporting. Taking the time, and providing the resources they say they need."
Now, I have put plenty of videos up on YOU TUBE, and with the 25 or so minutes of tape this young man took of our Gathering, my guess is it would only take about an hour of my time to put all 25 minutes of the interviews up on the web. So, in that vein, we are going to hold a bake sale at CU to raise funds to help this young man with his "resource" problems.
