Short and Sweet

Mike Sharkey,


First of all, I would like to acknowledge that there are many areas in which we as editors can improve. The mistakes have been glaring and shameful, and correction is necessary if the Behrend Beacon is going to be a high quality newspaper.
However, the method of your correction leaves much to be desired. If you are demanding professionalism and excellence from your staff, then you should treat your staff with equal professionalism, and in a way that inspires excellence. There are ways to convey frustration and disappointment beyond foul language, mockery, and sexist remarks; there is a difference between correction and degradation. Please consider this in the future.



Respectfully yours,

Rachel Reeves
