Slow down the presses
Just bunged off a quick email response to a staffer at a campus paper, who had questions about our Info Architecture class project. The paper in question had asked our prof for our contact info weeks ago, and I was actually looking forward to promoting how much community service SLIS and its students contribute. We'd about given up on them contacting us at this point.
Other than not identifying the paper the article is for (though I do know), confusing me with our client, appearing completely flustered at an imminent deadline, using "end of the year" to mean "end of the school year," and spelling my name wrong, I think they did a pretty good email interview.

Surely you're not biting your tongue on my account? I've always found the unprofessionalism of student journos charming.

No, no, it wasn't the Cardinal - actually, I think my interviewer gets paid. I too find student journos charming, but then, I've never been put in a room with them for hours on end.

Heh. Have you emailed Kristin? I'm sure she'll be thrilled to know somebody finally paid attention.

I did - has your group been contacted?

Not that I know of. But we're working for an incredibly obscure campus organization, so I doubt we're real high on their list. And I'm not the main contact person in any case.

I've been checking Wisconsin Week to see if you're in it. If, of course, that happens to be the paper to which you refer.
