Opinion: Reader Questions CCSU Decisions on Student Protests on Gaza
Author’s Note: Article Originally Denied by The Recorder. As a pretext, it should be known that this article was originally submitted to CCSU’s school newspaper, The Recorder, on Wednesday, April 24th, 2024, and denied publication. On Friday, April 26th, Managing Editor Savanna Yelling emailed me stating, “We’ve come to a mutual decision as editors that this piece is not suitable for The Recorder, both journalistically and stylistically,” and specifically that, “the length, tone and inaccuracies do not fit The Recorder’s standards. As well as a lack of acknowledgement to the opposing side’s stance, which appears even in opinion pieces to establish balance.” I have since exchanged further emails with several editors, in which they gave various suggestions for me to rewrite and resubmit my article. While I personally feel that some of the reasons they’ve provided for refusing to publish my article embody repression that is all-to-similar to what this piece describes, I do not wish to detract from my message by engaging further in this discourse here. Transparently, this article does include some changes reflecting important developments since initially submitting it to The Recorder.
