Dr. Jordan and countless others have worked and continue to strive tirelessly to bring MSCD to a position of pre-eminence in our state. A crucial factor in this emergence is the attention received by the media. This goal and vision is a cooperative, team effort, and one that certainly should not be taken lightly.
I must question your judgment on placing a file photo of a CU Boulder student studying in Norlin library to highlight this piece. The photo was pulled from your 2003 archives. Surely your institution must have archived photos of students studying at Auraria library on the Auraria Higher Education Campus. If not, given the immediate geographical proximity of your office to Metropolitan State College, it should not have been too arduous to obtain a photo of a Metro student studying.
I do applaud the Rocky Mountain News for its general success in accurately informing the public. This time, however, I feel your desk may have slipped in its attention to detail.

It is a lack on interest on the part of RMN. Why bother sending a photographer out to take a picture, when the archives have something similar to what they want? It is called being lazy. In college it was usually looked down upon to use work from other classes or projects in a current class or project, regardless of how well the two are connected. I would like to see more original work from the Denver News Agency in general, this photo thing is just a good case in point. Lazy journalism benefits nobody.
