42 CommentsAll month, Bwog has been waiting with bated breath while the Speccie population at Columbia has feverishly shadowed for their desired positions, written long proposals, and faced the firing squad of this year’s board. At the end of it all, campus news deputy Tom Faure came out on top for Editor-in-Chief in what was originally a six-person race, following in the illustrious footsteps of his predecessor John Davisson who made a similarly broad leap from News Associate editor to EIC. Welcome to you all!

@yum i wanna be on top of the EIC. Sexy.
@it's not nuts. What’s nuts is appointing someone to a job when he or she would do a less good job than someone else.
@What's …really nuts is the atrocious grammar of that remark.
@#39 for sure. i wasn’t intending that to be a criticism of the job mr. davisson has done…”nuts” in an approbational sense, like, “that shit is CRAZY”
@also it’s not that big a jump from deputy to eic considering both of the news editors are seniors.
@or at least it’s not as big a jump as associate to EIC. that’s just nuts.
@also bwog you got the order all wrong. publisher should be at the top, the eye managing editors should be lower, and online editor should be higher up with the rest of the content sections.
@correction by “at the top” for publisher i meant grouped with EIC and ME. preferably below EIC and above ME.
@O Columbia Just because something is from Harvard does not mean its better. Seriously, I implore you to actually look at the Crimson’s website. UGLY.
Our site used to look much like DP’s, since they pay College Publisher to help design their site as we used to.
@chester bennington yay Linda!!!
@ummm You’re saying thecrimson.com
looks better than
columbiaspectator.com ? Really?
Yes, the Times layout is a lot cleaner. But they happen to be THE newspaper of record with a billion-dollar company behind them, and we’re a college paper… perhaps it’s not a fair comparison?
@website how hard would it be to design a website that LOOKS LIKE A NEWSPAPER. this is why people traditionally hate spec’s website (which currently looks like slate or msnbc or something) but like the times’ or the crimson’s.
@hurrah! congrats all :D
@the eye is no longer in the hands of incompetents? no, no, this can’t be.
@dsz yay 132 :)
@that …was a response to 22
@jigga I don’t know, but most major outlets seem to fail at it. I can count on one hand the number of genuinely good professional news web sites out there.
Still, the Crimson’s site looks like death warmed over compared to Spec’s. DP’s not bad, if a little busy. I’m generally a fan of Spec’s design.
Why was 21 deleted?
@font DP has an ugly font
@Lara Woohoo! 132!
@there is no exec board. this is the equivalent, though.
managing board + corporate board = the people who run the paper.
@... was the exec board announced too?
@Tom Faure is... …a big Red Sox fan. and totally kick-ass. Wooooo! Go Tom!
@el participante should replace the eye
http://www.elparticipante.blogspot.com
@el participante can go fuck itself. El Participante is the left’s equivalent of Fox News.
@bravo! SEBBA RULZ!!!!
@invisible_hand a wise woman once said, “if the eye were called “teh heart,” it would get much better circulation.”
ha!
long live the inestimable ms. symonds!
@..... KING TOM FAURE! KING TOME FAURE!
@proof that bwog is commented on mostly by cranky alums? the last two year’s announcements got a lot more vitriol…
@nah I just think the last two years’ announcements included a lot more baffling choices. This year, I am in wholehearted agreement with the lineup. Congrats to all!
@i guess I just have no idea who these people are.
maybe they’ll make the Spec less of a piece of shiiiite rag.
@King Tom Faure! King Tom Faure!
All hail the chief!
@congrats to Tom. he’ll do a great job.
@tom faure woot woot!
@jacob rocks!
@CML Alas, poor Deker! A woman of infinite qualification.
@save our country! Faure/Sebba 2008!
@I absolutely adore Ms. Sebba.
@abe Best MB ever!
@umm why is there no A&E editor for the spec mentioned here?
@A&E gets picked next weekend.
