Philadelphia newspaper strike, Temple News ignorance

The Philadelphia Newspaper Guild voted overwhelmingly to strike this week if their contract demands aren't met. Will Bunch was impressed according to his sentiments on Attytood, the Daily News blog.

As for me, I received a hillariously frantic email from one of the Temple News, who shall remain nameless. According to this email, the Daily News planned to send Temple students out wandering the streets of Philadelphia on Halloween night, roaming in search of a story. They then planned to use whatever we came back with for a City Section... I have to tell you, if this is the level of understanding that the editors at Temple News have of teh newspaper industry, I am terrified!
