The fact that the story is already pushed down on the RT landing page and that the story only has 6 comments tells you pretty much everything you need to know. Incredibly frustrating.

That's how the cookie crumbles .. but that doesn't mean things can't change. I've met most of the current board members and they are mostly good people who want to do the right thing but 1) I think are getting a lot of misinformation from the district administration and 2) have political objectives that may not always line up with fiduciary success. I think we have the ability to influence both of those things but especially #1. I know my reporting has driven some changes.
lolz. The RoundTable is such a strange site. About 80% of it is written by high school and college kids with a smattering of PR pieces for local businesses. The actual news articles get lost in the mess of other stuff.
It doesn’t help that they don’t really edit their pieces. I find Larry Gavin’s 20,000 word treatises on MAP scores useful but tedious.
I am sure for most readers it is easy to skip over most of the essential stories and info since it exists in a large pool of superfluous stuff that few people have time to wade through.

Journalism in 2020s is about story telling more than it is analysis
They censor comments pretty hard there imo. It was revealing how many comments and the content they/Duncan allowed on this one for example though https://evanstonroundtable.com/2023/12/13/police-investigate-antisemitic-graffiti-found-at-haven-middle-school/
To be fair: They do much less censorship than Evanston Now. I also do a lot of censorship too
