@STOP This thread is dead, stop commenting. You’re just being provocative.
@fern diaz did not run for an mb position
@Former MB member There’s a big difference between being a good reporter and a good editor, which may be why both Jimmy and Owen were passed over (although I wasn’t in on either of those discussions). And in Jimmy’s case at least, it’s clearly been better for his career to focus on reporting.
@whoa did fern diaz not run for a mb position?
@... a lot of people RAN for mb positions.
@re: 38 case in point.
@err... Spec doesn’t suck.
@umm... i’ve got a feeling that the spec is still going to suck no matter how many friends post comments on bwog.
@hughes I think they are both gay
@sportsfan Jon August is hotter than Jon Tayler.
@jontayler Jon Tayler is actually Hispanic.
@Willy Actually all brown people are the same, so it still counts.
KIDDING.
Great bwog article by the by, # 30.
@well jon tayler is hot
@Vicky Question: Is there a black male on Spectator’s staff? Yes the masthead is almost all white, but that got me thinking I’ve never seen a brotha writing for Spectator lately even below mb position.
@dear Vicky consult http://bwog.net/publicate/index.php?page=post&article_id=208
@yes jon tayler, sports editor, is black
@can someone sum up the relative attractiveness of the selected?
@Sprinkles Also, I think Jimmy got the last laugh – he’s writing for the Daily News. Millions of New Yorkers see him name. In my unpaid opinion, that’s a lot cooler (and better-paying) than being high-up at a college paper.
@Sprinkles *obligatory sex column comment*
@a peer congrats, sadia!
@francisfan Yay francis! Yay CUE!
@columbian John Davisson is a good choice.
@annie yay! francis made photo editor! that’s enough incentive for me to start reading the spec on a daily basis again, if only to see what photos were picked ^^.
@bring back miriam BOoooooooo! Booooooo! Boooooooo!
We want Datskovsky! We want Datskovsky!
@umm veto.
@More I want stories of heartbreak for those who were not elected. Report!
@Larry alex’s last name is gartenfeld. that you would anglicize the spelling would seem to suggest some sort of insidious racist agenda.
@q + a who is alex gartenfield?
can we have bios, some analysis of the race, some insider comments?
come on, bwog!
@Alex is awesome. He’s currently the lead story editor for the magazine, and was the obvious choice for editor in chief. He is going to do great things with the magazine next year.
@hmm interesting that almost all the male section editors are named john, or some variant of it. what ever happened to name diversity?
@Hmm Owen is a very good journalist, that’s too bad. But John will do a great job, no doubt.
@owen hearey applied for editor in chief. obviously, he didn’t get it.
@what ever happened to la pagina?
@Meléndez The La Página editor is a member of the deputy board, which will be turkey-shot for and announced next week.
We’re still in the running, have great ideas for next semester and invite anyone who can to contribute.
Sorry for taking up this space for a house ad, kids.

(Lame Duck) Editor, La Página
@bleh who is john davisson?
@um, john is amazing and will be a great eic.
@Where is owen heary on this list? Did he apply for anything?
@well the failed eic candidates usually get shafted. look at jimmy for example. he’s an amazing reporter, but steve snagged the eic position, the other MB positions filled up, and he was left to become “training editor.”
@john he was an associate news editor this year. he’s exceedingly qualified and he’ll do a great job, but yes, it’s a pretty unorthodox jump (so a huge honor)
@wtf is john davisson? was he an editor this year?
@yes fun with facebook IS lazy, also can you think for me also?
@fun with facebook can bwog do facebook links for each name?
@Excellent line-up Speaking as someone who almost never gives spec management any slack, it’s hard to imagine a better choice than John Davisson for Editor-In-Chief.
@hmmm a list so nice they posted it twice?
