@Sadia Speccest does not get you far. BELIEVE ME.
She got this because she deserved it.
@DHI Explain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_shoot
@spec meeting info rumor that sports is going online exclusively next year to cut production costs.
@specinsider that’s not true at all—production costs are not the reason there isn’t a sports editor now
@wow speccest gets you far…
seriously, will anyone respect her?
@haha Hm, that’s a remarkably stupid comment. If anything, having a romantic history with someone on the turkey shoot board hurts you as candidate, because it drives the other people in the room — who, btw, make these decisions collectively — to be especially skeptical of your qualifications or any praise heaped on you. Turkey shoots past are littered with examples of this.
I know Melissa and Liz. They’re both exceptionally hardworking, accomplished, and qualified for their jobs. They’ve earned the respect of their peers. So pls: stfu.
@former speccie while they have earned the respect of their peers, do they have the respect of their board/staff as a whole?
their peers don’t have to deal with them next year, but there are many members of the staff that don’t respect either of them based off of many things including attitude and speccest…
this upcoming board looks awesome for the most part though…good luck next year
p.s. amanda erickson was the best ME ever
@spec newsie Seconded, #28. Elizabeth is awesome and will do a wonderful job as ME.
@yes she will be an excellent medical examiner.
@and Both news editors are female too, so yeah, basically all ladies running things this year.
And wonderful ones at that – so many great people on this list! Good luck guys!
@Tom We’re done. Year in review after Spring semester. Check for web updates over winter break.
This isn’t the first all-female trio in Spec history but the first in 10 years.
@although There was a female EIC, publisher and ME in 2005. There were two MEs, one of whom was male, but it’s been a lot more recent than 10 years that 3 females held the top jobs.
@question Will there be any new Spec editions before the end of the semester? Like a semester in review even? Or are we done?
@speccie The ME is responsible for basically putting the paper together. she takes care of the page-by-page every night, she runs doping meetings, etc. she is the EIC’s go-to-girl, and she is generally getting her hands dirty.
that said, where the fuck is haley vech on this list? not too hard to imagine elizabeth got picked though, what with speccest and all.
haley rocks. this makes me sad.
@what does the ME do on Spec? Or ME’s in general?
@spec staffer amanda sebba was the best me ever
she is the reason i stayed on spec
@yeah Tom Faure was awesome.
@HALP can anyone else not stream videos on Hulu right now?
it seems like a campus wide problem
all internet is going really slow
this is absurd
i guess everyone on campus is probably watching videos because its reading week
@melissa repko is very mean. i fear all those who work for her now.
@agreed why her?
@tomanda king tom faure and queen amanda sebba! four more years!!!
@KING TOM FAURE KING TOM FAURE, KING TOM FAURE, KING TOM FAURE
@the eye will rule next year!
@Hmm This has been a weird year. The Spec is a lot thinner and Bwog has been less interesting. Less news to report? Fewer journalists? Less interest in journalism as an extracurricular? I don’t know.
@awesome! Betsy is the coolest person ever. The City News section is going to be SO GOOD!
@bartmart sheripan i love you!
@Long live the king! KING TOM FAURE!!!!!!
@Wow The top three positions are all held by women. I can’t remember the last time that’s happened.
@Anonymous love melissa repko…congrats!!
@spec-tacular woo hoo Repko/Simins ’09!!!
@oof This list is depressing.
@asdf no sports editors?
@Nah, Too depressing.
@that's because sports is irrelevant
