Why we are upset with theMichigan Daily

 

We at Students4Peace are more thanjust a bunch of college kids passing our time. We are dedicated tobringing the community of Ann Arbor a balanced and accuratepicture of the situation in the Balkans. We are an officiallyrecognized University of Michigan campus group with aMission Statementand a goal: To fightmisinformation in ALL its forms. When the Michigan Daily, theUniversity's own non-for-profit publication censores or repeatedlyerrs on publishing and reporting we feel we have an obligation toexpose this kind of journalism for what it is: sub-par.

 

The May 17th article on p.1entitled "Protesters chant, march against NATO bombings" is avery poorly written article, and if you haven't already seen why,go here.

 

In the same issue a coreStudents4Peace member wrote an editorial article entitled "Balkancatastrophe suffers from misinformation" that we believe wascensored. Click here for the proof.

 

We take this opportunity toprotest the Michigan Daily's treatment of the news, and the manner inwhich they have chosen to inform the student body.
