BETTER NEWS, PLEASE
(In regards to Lindsey Kupfer’s Jan. 27th column, “Friends with benefits: not so beneficial.”)
I like The State Press just as much as anyone else, but I have a major issue with your opinion articles at times. Not that they are offensive or insensitive as they can be at times, but rather the fact that today I read a piece about friends with benefits (FWB).
I'm as for burden free sexual encounters as the next person, but I'm tired of seeing relationship columns put in the opinion section of The State Press next to articles I respect, like the other three opinion articles in the very same issue.
Lindsey is not the issue, and her article isn't the issue, it's more the fact that The State Press is OK with putting any article wherever it wants.
I think it's great that The State Press offers relationship columns for those that like them, but perhaps on another page with that label specifically.
From the looks of things, you all at The State Press don't care much for arts and entertainment, as that page is basically your ad page, so maybe you can squeeze in some room for more articles like this.
But then again I raise issue with your arts and entertainment section all together, as every time someone writes about films, art, music or media in this publication, a complete lack of knowledge on the subject is completely evident. I'm sure it's mostly journalism majors giving uninformed thumbs up or down.
It's just my suggestion that you ask your writers to write what they know, or are extremely passionate about, because for a long while, the words of The State Press seem empty and shallow.
