As the LJ community pointed out yesterday, fresh-faced Berkeley students grace the newest cover of TIME. The only problem? None of them are actually quoted in the article.
The article comes just in time for Super Tuesday to focus on the recent Obama surge, more particularly the mania centered in college campuses. UC Berkeley is certainly no different, especially if you saw the Obama mobile this afternoon or his posse of pro sign twirlers.
However, the online article has not even a peep from our Berkeley models. Pretty much everyone else opines, and the closest the story gets to Berkeley is with a student from Claremont McKenna College.
In the print version, a handful of Berkeley students get their own photos dotting the page, and a more elite few get a choice one-sentence blurb. Lame. Why show a Berkeley face yet not hear the voice? We suppose the editing process comes into play for that one, but still…
As for the text itself, it’s nothing too sensational. Young people like Barack Obama. There, we saved you three pages of text and jabberings from students elsewhere in the country. Oh, but the mag does have nifty charts and graphs!
P.S. We think dormant, one-time Clog-loving blogger Alex Marlow is wearing a fanny pack in his picture (the one picture that accompanies the online article). Bold choice.
