Check out this piece on marijuana availability from the student newspaper at Tulane. Let's open a discussion on credibility and anonymous sourcing. Is this piece believable? What might have improved it? Do your experiences on this campus jibe with the reporting here? What would you expect of your student newspapers in a similar situation?

This article would never be published at this campus in either student newspapers. It doesn't have one single credible (and by credible I mean named) source. If you were a student pot smoker, you wouldn't be a credible source for the supply of the drug, but at least a name gives it a bit of a boost. This story should never have been published.
I really question the headline too. "Weed shortage on-campus" really? It's unbelievable.
