Re: the March 26 article “Pander-monium at the University of Arizona" and "UA's 'ouch/oops' idea can lead to a hmm moment"
A remarkable Sunday newspaper: Two Daily Star columnists (Tim Steller and Jonathan Hoffman), independently writing on the same subject (UA’s “Ouch/Oops”), demonstrating a very different sense of journalist responsibilities. Both got wind of the new guidelines via conservative media sites, both read over the 20-page university document, but only one (Steller) made the extra effort to actually talk to someone in the know at UA.
Remarkable how a simple conversation took the edge off of his preconceptions. Remarkable how the conversation gave Steller pause, and he took that moment to actually think about wisdom. I wish the world had more Steller moments like that.
