Our third issue of "The Voice" newspaper came out two days and it both some good and bad. This issue had a big political feature considering this will be the last issue that comes that before we the people crown a new leader of the free world. We gave notice about all the propositions that registered voters will be able to decide upon by giving exact definitions of what each one is about, thanks Kalie. Which actually helps me because I have an idea about several of them but now I really know ahead of time about what to vote for. Kalie got interviews from other Cabrillo students about who were they going to be voting for and why and I think she did a real good job but all the interviews she did were of men and like Mr. Kava has said "get the dogs name" meaning get all the details.
She didn't have any women's views and me as a reader would like to here what both sides have to say. Especially when there is a chance that we could have a female vice president and even a possible president and I want to see what my opposite sex say about that. No real knock against her I think she did a good job she just didn't cover all her sources. That's where the controversey over this issue starts with a lack of women's opinions and leads to sort of a controvsersal attack of Sarah Palin.
I think that throughout the issue we gave an attempt to remain unbissed which I think is good because with such a sensitive topic as politics you really need to attempt to stay in the middle. Until I finished reading page 14 then I take a peek of the back cover and it has a picture of Sarah Palin in a garbage can. Emily our editor and chief says that we were in total need for a last second page to finish the paper and it was all we had. That to me made us look like hipacrits and I am not a fan what so ever of that last page (and I'm not going to voter for McCain). It wasn't funny it just made all our good unbissed research, interviews, and opinions that we had in the paper were for nothing because we flat out trash (no pun intended) Palin.
It has happened and maybe that can bring some more attention to our paper which in that is good because I have learned that there is no such thing as bad publicity. I maybe a sportswriter and the sports editor but my name is attached to an issue that I am not proud of. Once our next issue comes out hopefully this one will be long forgotten and I can continue to do my thing giving all Cabrillo students top notch sports report. That's what I do and with my basketball preview coming out next issue I want to make clear that we have a pretty serious basketball programs at this school. Then I cannot forget the volleyball team and how they have not even lost game let alone a match in conference this year so they deserve a good write up and I will do my best to make sure they get the attention they rightfully deserve with a record of 18-5, 5-0 in conference play.
