Column: Entertainment has no place in journalism

Matthew Reisen | October 10

“I AM NOT IN THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.” This is the most important line in legendary journalist Jim Lehrer’s personal code of ethics — and I am inclined to agree wholeheartedly. If I am to truly be a journalist, there is no place for the notion of entertainment. The definition of entertainment itself negates that. I think you should never be a journalist to entertain, and those who write sensationalist tabloids I would not call journalists. The main directive of entertainment, is just that, to be pleasing to the senses in one way or another. But news is often not entertaining and it shouldn’t serve as such.

Column: Review what you know

Skylar Griego | October 10

In the world of journalism, the most important thing every reporter strives for revolves around one word: ethics. No self-respecting journalist has made a career without having a code of ethics drilled into his or her brain (as it should be). But journalism, like any kind of writing, is varied and full of subgenres. Following strict rules can get trickier the more alternative the writing becomes.

Thriving Africana Studies program seeks department status

Brendon Gray | October 9

Since its founding nearly 50 years ago, faculty and staff in the UNM’s Africana Studies program have wished for full department status. A pending expansion will be helpful, but there is still work to be done. Robert Jefferson, director of Africana Studies, said the creation of a new, state-of-the-art facility, which began last month and is chalked to finish early next year, is a sign of growth and prosperity for the program. “The construction of the research hall shows our capacity to grow as a program,” he said.

Football: Lobos show improvement, but not enough to win

Robert Maler | October 9

New Mexico’s goal of winning a division title took a serious hit Friday night, as the Lobos lost its first conference game after getting dominated 49-21 by No. 19 Boise State. The Lobos looked like they might be able to hang around early in the game, playing to a 7-7 tie after the first couple of series, but then Boise State started to assert itself. Both teams were somewhat one-dimensional, but the Broncos could not be stopped in the passing game, while the Lobos were never able to challenge despite strong numbers in the run game. New Mexico played the game without Teriyon Gipson, who suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s 48-41 victory over San José State.

Big shows at Popejoy leave UNM students feeling upstaged

Nichole Harwood | October 7

Large Off-Broadway performances like The Lion King — which is running through October — have become a double-edged swords. While bringing revenue to Popejoy and the University, the scheduling of popular visiting shows tends to take top priority, causing smaller student organizations to have to schedule around them or find another venue. Faith Grattan, a junior music education major, said there has been difficulties with planning student performances because Popejoy schedules events that bring in revenue. In turn, they take precedence over on-campus groups — even UNM Theater productions.
