Now Listen Here, You Ninnies.
I am sick and tired of whiny reporters.
You’re in college. If someone doesn’t respond to your e-mail, call their office. Leave a few messages. I am not holding your hand while you cry about not getting a couple of sources. I can tell you where to go, but I have then handed responsibility to you. I can help where I can, but I will not schedule interviews for you.
Alternatively, do what I did and go for op-ed. That way, no one cares if you interview someone or not.

I keep wondering if it’s something I did. It’s not their fault if they haven’t been trained…But I know the feeling. Sometimes I think we should add a clause to our policies that would prevent people from being useless.
