Editor in Chief

This week, I won't regale you with tales of reader dissatisfaction, stories behind the stories or long-winded explanations of Collegian policy.

This week, I need you to be the editor.

Every Tuesday -- usually around 11 p.m. as the Web editors breathe down my neck for this blog -- I tried to think of a topic that would surprise, inform or entertain you about the drama that is inextricably intertwined with the news. Some weeks, it was a breeze. Getting 62 e-mails about anything is usually a clue it will make for an interesting, if not controversial, theme. Some weeks, I was cold calling non-journalist friends asking them if they would ever spend 6 minutes reading about a board of directors meeting.

But now that it is all said and done, as a journalist, a student and plain curious person, I want to know: What did you like? What did you hate?

Are the inner-workings of The Daily Collegian any clearer? Did you get an understanding of what we do and how we do it? Did you want to know more about the people who make up this well-oiled machine? Did you want a better source for national and international media news? Do you think this forum is just useless?

Your feedback will contribute to the greater good of the blogosphere, I promise. It won't just be satisfying my curiosity, but I'll make sure it gets passed along to Terry Casey, the next editor-in-chief.

Regardless of whether you loved this weekly sound off or thought it was too preachy, too didactic or too whiny -- thanks for reading. I certainly had fun writing.
