Response to Student Editor Article

What do you think?

I think that the article really shouldn't have been written yet. By the looks of the article I read, I felt that it was not complete, because they didn't have enough information about the teacher who was supposedly texing some students innappropriately. The question is, "why is this teacher texting these kids in the first place?" She shouldn't even have these kids' numbers. I also think that these kids should know better than to text and have this teacher's number. In the end, I think the editor should wait until authorities have the real factual information, because then the readers of the story won't get the story mixed up and it could turn out to be a very good article.

As members of a journalism class yourself, what would you do if in the editors' shoes?

If I was the editor, like I said in the above response, I would wait until the whole story is all set and done before I begin to write the story, because then the readers won't have any conflict on the story itself.
