La Voz

I would like to express my disappointment and irritation with La Voz for the lack of interest in Matt Gonzalez. For a speaker series that had 200-plus students and faculty in attendance, a mere picture of Matt Gonzalez with a brief mention of his visit doesn't suffice for journalistic reporting.

I don't understand why La Voz would not want to cover a story about a man who speaks highly about the important role the media plays in our world today. It seems that it is more important to have a half-page ad about La Voz, or even an article continuing from the first page about the decline in crime at De Anza than to write about a local mayoral candidate's visit.

I hope that this has nothing to do with La Voz's conservative bias, because Matt Gonzalez is a well-known liberal and a member of the Green Party.

I trust that, as a newspaper that should be reflecting students' views and the goings-on on campus, you would have a higher ethical standard than to allow or omit stories based on political persuasion. I am not the only disgruntled individual. We have had two students come and express their annoyance and irritation about the lack of coverage to the De Anza Student Body Senate and inquiring what they could possibly do about it. I told them what I am told by La Voz all the time: write a letter.
