(It's about the Rolling Stone article alleging a gang rape on University of Virginia's campus.)

Everyone has to read this

I'm going to go easy on you for the rest of the semester regarding the articles. I'll just send you interesting stuff from time to time. You must read this:

You should be working for the campus newspaper

Below is an appeal from Mr. Klein for students to work at the Campus Carrier. If you're thinking of getting a job in media/journalism/PR, experience at the newspaper will be hugely beneficial.

I got my start at The East Carolinian at ECU in Greenville, NC. Started as a staff writer, then news editor, then managing editor. Had a great time. Went on to work at major and minor news outlets, including the Boston Herald.

Take care,
Dr. Matt
