willy p cops

so i just read the articles from the record and the e-mail from Spreet about what happen last wednesday on belmont ave.  the article from the record went into much more detail than the e-mail, the record of course is intended for a much larger audience.  it was clearly trying to inform and report on what happened to the public.  on the other hand the e-mail, which was intended for students and staff, had much less detail and felt like it was little bit more on the wpu cops side.  the e-mail seemed like a disclaimer or something, like it was just sent out to cover the schools rep, for cops shooting at people, like last year.  the writer of the article was doing his job, very well if i might add,  telling the story how it happened, with details and facts, but  Spreet, also doing his job, was just giving us what he wanted us to hear.  i think the newspaper was a mush better source of what happened, it told the story better and gave us a lot more information.

  1. It's Speert, actually. I like what you're saying, but I'm distracted by the long graf and all of the lowercase letters. You really nailed the purpose of both pieces.
