I dunno. Dose is just filled with soundbites for sure but the repro on the photos was good and at least tons of people got to learn about jacob’s work there who wouldn’t have otherwise.

Not that “established” papers are much better, but Dose is just a throwaway weekly entertainment rag – the latest of several in this city, and probably the worst of the bunch. They should probably stick to covering local events and gossip.

Journalists use quotes from interviews to fluff what they’ve already written. That’s what they told us to do when i was writing for our college paper. If you’ve ever been close to something that was covered in the news media, you’ll find the articles to be oversimplified and incomplete if not inaccurate. Don’t turn around and think that every other story is covered better.

In my experience, it doesn’t matter whether a publication is left or right wing. They all edit the hell out of interviews and focus on the trivial. The last time I was interviewed for a newspaper, they managed to change everything around, so that it looked like I was saying the exact opposite of what I had told them. I learned my lesson- never give an interview on anything of importance unless one either knows the interviewer or can accept the fact that the finished product will be nothing like the original.

Dose is a (national, but localised) freesheet recently put out by the people behind the National Post (Canada’s most right-wing national newspaper) to counter what they perceive as a left-wing bias in the other (regional) free papers. It’s basically trash, I’m not surprised that they gutted your interview.

David,

I’m going to guess that they chose number 2. Fun times!

reminds me of the time i talked to a reporter about the zombie mob. Guess which quote they used:
1) Zombies are great because the metaphor is just beneath the surface. Mindless consumers with an insatiable appetite. The zombies were the ones actually living, not the workers who couldn’t break loyalty for a second to crack a smile.
2) We stand united in the quest for more brains.
