When the editors pressed Marti Harvey for an example of the UP's National Enquirer-like journalism, she cited the story above. (Click to enlarge.)
I was actually quite proud of the piece. On deadline, the students covered the new FAU president's very first meeting – which she closed to the public. They wrote it, edited it, and uploaded it to the printer within two hours.
Belatedly and coincidentally, The Palm Beach Post just yesterday ran an editorial championing what the UP reported.
Does this mean Marti believes The Post – the nation's 66th-largest newspaper according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations – also follows "the National Enquirer method of journalism"?
TOMORROW: So what's an adviser do, anyway?
