Melissa Guest, the UD Editor, will be on Michael Duff's show tonight at 7pm on KTXT 88.1.

You can listen to it streaming at www.ktxt.net/Stream/.

I'm assuming this is going to be an interview about the controversial editorial published last week.

It was a great interview. Melissa basically feels it's her duty to print viewpoints that represent the opinions of people on campus, even when they're stupid. She's under a lot of legal and ethical restrictions, so she wasn't able to comment on her personal opinon of the article. She ran it through a strict legal filter to make sure it wasn't libel, and she said contraversy like this does NOTHING to help the circulation or the ad rates charged by the paper. I think she presented herself very well. We finally pinned her down and got her to admit if she thought the editorial would inspire violence, she wouldn't have run it. She's getting about 100 hate mails a day and numerous calls for her resignation. I disagree with her editorial judgment in this case, but I really like her as a person and a professional, and I think she came off very well.
