Cella ’08 said he was encouraged by the willingness of Quinn and Norris to admit that there were mistakes made in the coverage of some financial issues, but added that he was less pleased about how they suggested that articles often cater to popular opinions. “It sort of proved that stories are based on demand,” he said...
