2024 New Mexico State Fair kicks

By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo

The 2024 New Mexico State Fair has officially kicked off in Albuquerque.

From Sept. 5-15, the fair features familiar staples like live music in the rodeos and around the grounds, petting zoos, carnival rides and an assortment of food and drink options.

Over the days, the rodeos will feature live entertainment from Brad Paisley, Cole Swindell and Josh Turner, according to the New Mexico State Fair website.

Jason D’Vaude, known as “The Circus Man,” is performing for the fourth year in a row, and a new event — Duke City Championship Wrestling — involves WWE-style fights for the crowds to watch and root for.

In the stables on the north end of the fairgrounds, fair-goers can meet and spend time with Arabian horses.

Rebecca Sparks and Platinum Performance Horses are taking part in this year’s horse show events at the fair.

Platinum Performance Horses trains Arabian and

half-Arabian show horses.

The company also offers riding lessons and summer camps, according to Sparks.

“We’ve had a great kickoff for the first day of the State Fair; it’s been nice to see spectators in the stands. We’re excited to educate people about the Arabian breed and the work we do,” Sparks said.

Antonya Molluer and her photography studio Morning Glory Studios are at the horse stables taking portrait photos of the Arabian horses during the horse show events.

“I primarily photograph people, but I was a horse trainer for many years, and following an injury I’ve shifted much more into photography and I enjoy still getting to work with the horses,” Molleur said.

Molleur donates the session fees from her photography at the fair to Horses For Healing, a non profit organization in Albuquerque.

Booths along the main walkway of the fair feature popular food and drink options such as turkey legs, ice cream and lemonade. There are also opportunities to see snakes, monkeys and birds

for a fee.

The University of New Mexico Truman Health Services makes an appearance, offering sexually transmitted infection testing and prophylactics free of charge to promote positive sexual health practices. Last year, its booth provided over 500 people with their HIV status, according to Truman Health Services Community Health Resources Manager Craig LaBerge-Esparza.

“The New Mexico State Fair sees visitors from all over the Southwest, and we’re excited to be able to speak with newcomers about HIV and hepatitis C, get them tested at our mobile unit and provide them with condoms and other important tools for sexual health,” LaBerge-Esparza said.

More events, including the Great American Pig and Duck Races, New Mexico State Fair Ambassadogs and the Strolling DJ will continue throughout the week.

Campus crime: Week of Sept. 2

By Lauren Lifke @lauren_lifke

From Monday, Sept. 2 through Sunday, Sept. 8, there were 34 crimes reported on or near the University of New Mexico campus that were entered into its daily crime log.

There was also a LoboAlert issued to the community on Sept. 8.

LoboAlert: Police activity near North Campus

At about 3 p.m. on Sept. 8, a LoboAlert notified the campus community of police activity near University Boulevard and Indian School Road. The Albuquerque Police Department was working on an active incident at an apartment complex in the area, according to the alert. The alert advised the community to avoid the area until further notice.

A second alert two hours later advised that there were no active threats. In a phone call with the Daily Lobo, the University of New Mexico Police Department said the only person who could provide further information was the public information officer, who was not available prior to publication on Sept. 8.

Break-in and aggravated battery at Casas del Rio

Battery and break-in at Casas del Rio

On the early morning of Sept. 2, a subject committed aggravated battery on a victim at the Casas del Rio Pecos building, according to the crime log. Aggravated battery is “one of the most serious forms of battery,” according to the Legal Information Institute. It involves physical contact with the intention of causing harm to another person, and it usually results in serious injury.

A subject then committed “breaking and entering,” according to the crime log. The victim was battered and then broke into the building, according to the log. UNMPD was not immediately available before publication to clarify to the Daily Lobo whether the battery victim was the perpetrator of the break-in.

Arrest at Lobo Village

On the night of Aug. 30, a suspect was arrested at Lobo Village after evading a police officer, according to the log.

The subject was “disorderly while possessing alcohol and refused to provide his ID,” the log reads. He then fled from the police and was arrested. The listed offenses are

“disorderly conduct,” “concealing identity,” “minor in possession of alcohol” and “resisting, evading (and/ or) obstructing a police officer,” according to the daily crime log.

The incident was entered into the log on Sept. 8.

Arrest at Coronado Hall

On Tuesday, Sept. 3, two suspects stole two bikes from a bike rack at Coronado Hall. The listed offenses were “conspiracy” and “larceny,” and the incident was cleared by arrest. The incident was entered into the log on Sept. 8.

Battery on a health care worker

There were five listed instances of battery — “the unlawful touching of another person,” according to LawInfo — against health care workers entered into the log. They all occurred at the UNM Hospital Children’s Psychiatric Center, and three of the instances occurred in August but were entered into the crime log during the week.

Battery and assault

Aside from acts committed upon health care workers, there were two listed instances of simple battery — which involves touching another person — and one of simple assault

Library cyberattack leaves no data compromised

By Lily Alexander @llilyalexander

A cyberattack on University of New Mexico Libraries that began on July 31 resulted in no compromised data for students or employees, according to Mark Emmons, associate dean of the College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences. Publicly accessible resources were mostly available by the start of the semester, according to Emmons, while issues accessing library resources from off campus continued.

As of Sept. 6, initial testing indicated UNM may have resolved the off-campus access issues, Emmons wrote in an email to the Daily Lobo.

When members of UNM leadership initially learned of the cyberattack, they determined that the best course of action was to take down the parts of the network associated with UNM Libraries, according to Emmons. On Aug. 1, UNM sent out a campus-wide email stating UNM Libraries’ online services were unavailable and facilities were closed because of emergency network maintenance.

On Aug. 15, another campus-wide email informed the community that the Library

and University IT teams restored full access to library services.

Higher education and libraries are frequent targets of cyberattacks, according to Emmons. Typically, individual attackers and motives remain unknown.

Man with narcotic pipe breaks into Redondo Village apartment

Suspect was released from jail three days prior

“Students and all other members of the UNM community must be engaged to promote awareness of information security principles to help safeguard our environment,” Emmons wrote.

On Aug. 27, police arrested a man who broke into a student’s room at the Redondo Village Apartments. The suspect broke the window screen, entered the apartment and took the student’s keys and wallet, according to the report. He had a pipe and torch consistent with those used to smoke narcotics.

At about 9:30 p.m. the day of the report, a University of New Mexico Police Department officer was notified of an unknown suspect inside a student’s RVA room. The officer arrived on the scene to find the victim — a sophomore who lived in the room — restraining a suspect, who police then arrested.

A witness told the officer that she saw a man pull the screen off the window and climb into the victim’s room. She called police and took a video of the suspect sitting inside the victim’s bedroom, according to the police report.

The victim later told police

that a witness had informed him of the stranger sitting in his room. The victim approached the suspect, yelled at him and told him to leave his room, according to the police report.

The suspect left through the window. The victim then realized his keys and wallet were missing, and a neighbor helped him follow the suspect. The victim took back his keys and wallet and restrained the suspect until UNMPD arrived.

Three days before the incident, the supect had been released from jail after being charged with breaking and entering at a house near Midtown. The judge released him “on recognizance” — meaning he was released after the judge was convinced the suspect was not a risk, according to New Mexico Legal Group. The suspect is still in custody, according to the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Woman with felony warrant arrested near SRC

Suspect in possession of meth

By Lauren Lifke @lauren_lifke

On the early morning of Aug. 23, University of New Mexico police arrested a woman at the Student Residence Center for trespassing and possession of meth.

The suspect had a felony warrant, according to the police report of the incident.

About two days before the suspect’s arrest, a UNM Police Department officer was dispatched to the SRC laundry room after a resident reported that her clothes were missing from the dryer, according to the police report. After viewing surveillance footage, the officer determined that a woman had

entered the building and taken the clothes.

UNMPD was not initially able to locate the suspect.

At about 10 p.m. on Aug. 22, during a directed video surveillance check, the officer saw a suspect attempting to break into the SRC laundry room. He determined that the suspect was the same person from the previous incident. He went to the laundry room and detained her.

Officers used the suspect’s social security number to determine that she had a felony warrant, according to the police report.

The officer collected the suspect’s belongings, which included “a white powder substance,” a bag of suspected marijuana and a small glass pipe “normally used in the consumption

of narcotics,” according to the report. The suspect told the officer that the substance was meth.

The suspect had six warrants: three for criminal trespass, two for battery and one for “criminal damage to property,” according to the Metropolitan Detention Center. In March, she was charged with identity theft and attempting to commit a felony. The case had been dropped four days before the first report at the SRC due to an inability to locate the suspect, according to NM Courts.

UNM rugby is built on a strong culture

By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo

On Aug. 31, the University of New Mexico Men’s Rugby Club kicked off the 2024 season with its first alumni match since 2015.

The men’s rugby club team, which currently boasts a 31-man roster, is led by head coach Deavon Tabish-Moran, an Anderson School of Management graduate. He started volunteering with the rugby club team in 2022 as an assistant coach before receiving his World Rugby Level 1 certification and becoming head coach.

“The alumni game is one of the most vital games in our entire schedule. It truly places our physical fitness

and our in-game IQ to the test, because jumping straight into a game playing against true experts of the sport is no simple thing. Those older guys gave us proper treatment and we are beyond grateful for them,”

Tabish-Moran said.

Tabish-Moran is also an alum of the rugby club, playing from 2007-09.

He attributes memories of traveling with the team to the University of California, Berkeley as shaping his love for the culture and sport of rugby.

Outside of testing their skills, Tabish-Moran said the alumni game is important for keeping the club funded and maintaining the connections that it brings.

“The alumni come from quite literally all over the world to see this

club grow and help make the boys’ competitive dreams come true. As a club sport, we rely heavily on the fundraising efforts of our (alum) to make sure that the student athletes get to play and compete at no cost to them,” Tabish-Moran said.

UNM rugby started as a group of students and professors playing unofficial matches in 1970 before receiving a charter and becoming an official club in 1973.

“I love helping these kids form lasting memories and relationships. I’m just grateful that this is a sport that continues to open its arms to the struggles of life and helps its members overcome anything they need. I just want to give back to this community that has helped me out so much,”

United shuts out Miami FC 1-0

By Thomas Bulger @thomasbulger10

New Mexico United took down Miami FC 1-0 on Friday, Sept. 6. The win stretches United’s lead of the Western Conference to 10 points. The team is just four points away from clinching a playoff spot with eight matches left in the season.

Jacobo Reyes scored the lone goal of the game at the 45-minute mark. Miami FC’s goalie Khadim Ndiaye blocked a shot but was unable to secure the ball, which led to Reyes charging the ball and placing it in the back of the net.

After the match, Reyes talked about how the coaching staff is putting him in a position to capitalize on rebounds to help fuel the offense.

“The coach has really made me be in those spots, like, can I increase my (expected goals), just be there for the

rebounds or just try to be active? And I think it’s been worth it. I mean, I’m scoring those rebounds and I think it’s good because I’m helping the team to win.

So I gotta keep doing it,” Reyes said.

United dominated the possession battle with 63.4% and despite only finding the net once, it had eight shots on goal. After the match, head coach Eric Quill said finding consistency in scoring is key to taking over the league.

“I think with the ball for 70 yards, we’re the best in the league,” Quill said.

“If we’re really going to be considered the best — and we’ve had games that we are — the consistency is where ... you’ve got to be.”

The win improved United’s record to 16-3-7. With 51 points on the season, United has a 10-point lead in the Western Conference, but Louisville City FC leads the league with 59 points.

Tabish-Moran said.

Jamey Grayson, a senior, has been playing with the club since spring 2023.

“When I joined the club, I knew nothing about rugby or New Mexico. Freshly coming in from the Midwest, I felt isolated from everything that I was once familiar with. Since joining, I discovered that the rugby culture here is welcoming to any and everyone no matter who you are. The camaraderie you receive in this sport is second to none, especially the UNM club,” Grayson said.

The club holds its members to high standards of effort both on and off the pitch, according to Grayson.

“It is expected amongst all the members to maintain exceptional grades and to meet at study sessions

Quill said United’s goal is to continue to improve during this stretch of the season and overtake Louisville in the standings.

“All these guys have growth mindsets and they want to be better. And we’ll make ourselves better continuously. But we’re the top team in the conference for good reason. And we’re still chasing — obviously — Louisville, because we want to end the season (at the top),” Quill said.

United will go to Michigan to face Detroit City FC on Saturday, Sept. 14. Detroit City FC has a record of 109-8, and is right in the middle of the Eastern Conference’s playoff race.

to ensure that the effort is being put in. Grades are an absolute non-negotiable,” Grayson said.

The men’s rugby club team has games lined up with New Mexico Tech, New Mexico State University and the University of Arizona this semester, according to its Instagram.

The home games, held on Johnson Field, are free to watch. The schedule can be found on the team’s Instagram @bosrugby.

Since the start of the semester, I have been observing the little robots puttering around campus with their flags, delivering food to people. These robots are a collaboration between University of New Mexico Food, Grubhub and Starship Technologies for a new food delivery method on campus.

Recently, I tested out the new venture and had a positive experience.

I ordered food from the Subway in the Student Union Building — a tuna sandwich, chips and a drink — and set it to deliver to the north side of Zimmerman Library. The robots deliver to spots across campus, including the dorms, Dane Smith Hall, Zimmerman and various other buildings on campus. To see all the delivery spots and to order food via the robots, the steps are as follows:

1. Download the Grubhub app and select “campus.” Log in with your UNM email.

2. Eight restaurants allow Starship delivery robots and of them show in the upper corner of the app. Pick one to order from and a robot will bring you your food.

3. Pick where you want it delivered. There are 72 options around campus, though that does not include the Duck Pond, which would be a good addition. The robot does not go further than Main Campus.

4. Order your food and wait.

A negative aspect of the Starship delivery is that it takes longer than walking to and ordering in the SUB would normally take. I ordered my food and it took roughly half an hour to receive it — while on the app, said it would have taken an estimated 10 minutes to pick it up at the SUB Subway.

So if you want your food fast and don’t mind walking, take the trip to the SUB. However, if you feel like sitting and having a robot do all the heavy lifting, then order through Starship.

After a bit of waiting, I got a notification that the robot was headed toward me. I watched the map as it got closer. Eventually, I spotted the robot and watched it stop north of Zimmerman.

You do have to locate the robot, but the location tracker on the app is accurate and it goes right near the building, so there should be no issues.

The robot is also very visible with the flag, and it lets out a long beep to help you find it, making it more accessible.

Once I located the robot, the app prompted me to press “I found the robot — unlock,” which unlocked it. I was worried about the security of ordering food via the robot, but you cannot get into it unless you look at your order on the Grubhub app and press the button.

Once unlocked, the robot talks, saying “Here is your order.” You close it and press “Send the robot away.”

The robot says, “Goodbye, have a good day,” and off it goes.

My food came to me perfectly without any issues, and nothing looked jumbled from the robot ride.

The inside of the robot includes three cup holders so there are no worries

about drink spillage.

All in all, I recommend utilizing the robot delivery, even if it is just for fun. I enjoyed watching the robot zoom toward me — they go pretty fast — as its little flag waved in the air in greeting.

UNM Food told the Daily Lobo that answers to further questions on the robots had to be approved by the Grubhub and UNM Food corporate teams, both of which did not respond in time for publication. The Daily Lobo will run a follow-up article when it receives the answers.

Sixth annual Latinx Games Fest to come to Albuquerque

By Rodney Prunty @rprunty05

The sixth annual Latinx Games Festival will be held in Albuquerque for the first time from Sept. 20-22. The festival — which will take place at the National Hispanic Cultural Center — will feature showcased games by Latino and Hispanic creators, an esports tournament and live speakers providing insight about game development.

The event’s goal is to highlight historically underrepresented Latino voices in the video game industry, according to Latinx Games Festival founder and executive director Jason Vega. He has been

in the industry for the past 12 years.

“Ultimately, we want to show that video games as a young medium exist and a lot of its history is rooted in Latinos and Latino culture,” Vega said.

Hispanic or Latino individuals make up 8.8% of video game developers, according to Zippia.

Zack Quintero, executive director of the NHCC, said holding an event like this is very exciting for him and the center.

“Here, we want people to connect to their Hispanic and Latino roots, so this is a huge responsibility for us — but one we take with a lot of responsibility and excitement,” Quintero said.

Ernie C’deBaca, president and CEO of

the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce, is partnering with the Latinx Games Festival. Gaming company sponsors supporting the event include Xbox, Unity, Nintendo and Amazon Games, according to Vega.

“The representation of the Xbox’s and Panics of the world means the world to me as a gamer and as an event organizer, but knowing what they do for the Latino gaming-development community — that means the most,” Vega said.

OPINION: Stop the presses, robo-porter

By Addison Fulton @DailyLobo

You’re all probably going to be sick of me by the time the robot revolution comes, but until then, I will have bone after bone to pick with the machine.

In August, CBS reported that Aaron Pelczar, a journalist for Wyoming news outlet the Cody Enterprise, was caught using generative artificial intelligence to write and publish news articles.

One of the stories Pelczar generated was a piece on a shooting in Yellowstone National Park, which featured the line, “This incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of human behavior, even in the most serene settings,” according to the Associated Press. Following the incident, Pelczar resigned.

Before Pelczar, Sports Illustrated was found to be publishing AI-generated stories credited to reporters who didn’t exist, according to PBS.

The news caused many outlets to reassess or reaffirm their policies on AI.

The AP recently put in its guidelines that AI “cannot be used to create publishable content and images for the news service,” though it reported using the technology for financial-earnings articles and some sports coverage.

USA Today has incorporated AIgenerated “key point” summaries at the top of its articles, with disclaimers at the bottom reading: “The Key Points at the top of this article were created with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and reviewed by a journalist before publication. No other parts of the article were generated using AI.”

As AI becomes more common, we must become clear and cautious with our rules.

The Daily Lobo has no formal AI policy yet, though the unwritten one is “Do not use AI.” How strange that we may have to put “don’t use a robot to make things up” in the handbook of journalists.

All or at least most jobs do a service to their fellow man. Doctors save lives. Electricians keep the lights on. Servers, cashiers and baristas keep the wheels of convenience greased. We all do our part, and we do what we’ve promised to do.

As journalists, we have one simple but incredibly important job: to tell the truth.

As soon as you put something in print, you enter into an unspoken contract with your reader: You promise that you have done the reporting and are telling the truth. In return, the reader ideally listens to you and walks away with new information.

This is how it ought to work. It’s symbiosis; we’re the birds who pick gristle out of crocodile teeth, pulling away the rot of untruth and leaving behind what the public needs in order to live well-informed lives.

If we take a shit in the mouth of our crocodile, we deserve to be eaten.

According to Axios, public trust in journalists has reached an all time low, with more than one in three

Americans saying they don’t trust journalists at all. Pair that with a fall in public trust in AI — dropping from 61% to 53% over the past five years — and we’re looking at a world where our readers don’t believe in us at all.

In the case of Pelczar’s Yellowstone article, the truth was important. Those were people’s lives, and journalists should do the service of reporting accurately. Not only is it dishonest to use AI to write about people’s lives, it’s disrespectful.

When you use AI without a disclaimer, you fail to tell the truth. You are using the implied truth of a news article to say something made up by a computer. It isn’t just Pelczar. AI is being used in journalism closer to home, too.

On March 5, New Mexico News Port — the outlet associated with the University of New Mexico’s communication and journalism department — ran an article about changes to state voting laws accompanied by an AI-generated visual.

If you know what you’re looking for, the use of AI for the image is ob-

vious. The signs meant to read “vote” have jumbled letters, the United States flag has the wrong number and positioning of stars and stripes, people melt into buildings, etc. However, if you don’t know what you’re looking for, it’d be easy to fall for the image as being true, especially because it’s coming from a news source you can theoretically trust.

Gwyneth Doland, faculty advisor for News Port, said she generated the image intending it to resemble a painting or an illustration rather than a photograph.

“I don’t think any human would think that was a photograph,” Doland said. The image featured no caption disclaiming that the image had been AI generated, though Doland said it was supposed to.

“I think the important point (is) AI is a tool that trained journalists can use to do their work more efficiently and more effectively … this is a tool,

OPINION: Art imitates life: The obsession with age gaps in film

By Arly Garcia @dailylobo

The classic 1942 drama “Casablanca” featured a 16-year age gap between its romantic leads. The iconic dinosaur adventure film “Jurassic Park” had a 20-year age gap between love interests Alan Grant and Ellie Satler. The continued success of these beloved films suggests there’s a viable market for them, but what does that say about us?

Age-gap romances between heterosexual couples are a common phenomenon in film. They appear regardless of the time period or genre.

And although there are a few films with an older leading lady — take 1971’s “Harold and Maude,” or the recent film, “A Family Affair,” for example — age-gap movies lean overwhelmingly toward pairing an older man with a younger woman.

People often say that life imitates art, but in this case, it may be the other way around.

A study published in the journal “Evolution and Human Behavior” found that men of any age preferring younger women is consistent across multiple continents.

Socialization — “the process beginning during childhood by which

individuals acquire the values, habits and attitudes of society,” according to Merriam-Webster — is a significant factor in choosing romantic and sexual partners.

A patriarchal society suggests that the best match for a woman may be a man who can “take care of her,” typically in a monetary sense. This is because women have historically been barred from attaining positions of power, according to ScienceDirect.

Socialization and expectations are parts of romance, but so is mental compatibility. What’s the point of falling in love if it’s with someone you can’t connect with emotionally?

We build lasting bonds with connection and vulnerability. Relationships take work, and they might need even more work if you don’t have enough in common with your partner, according to HuffPost.

It’s possible the idea that girls mature faster than boys — itself a product of a patriarchal society — encourages women to pursue older men. If women are constantly being told that they’re more mature than their peers, they may be more likely to seek out partners they perceive to be on the same maturity level.

The problem with significant age gaps in cinema and in life is that they imply power dynamics. With power

AI in journalism from page 6

and a tool can be used for good or evil, but the tool exists and people are using it,” Doland said.

I hear ideas like this a lot in conversations about AI. I question the notion that all tools are inherently neutral. Firstly, all tools have a purpose — something they are made to do. In the case of AI that specifically generates images and text, its major purpose is to reduce the need for human creation and analysis, which are essential for accurate, honest and quality journalism.

dynamics comes inequality, and that can lead to coercion. The older partner often holds more power, thus limiting the younger partner’s ability to object and muddling the notion of consent, according to Vox.

Many people are in happy, healthy relationships with an older partner. Age gaps have power imbalances, but there are ways to prevent those imbalances from becoming problematic. By arming young people with information and viable resources, we can help protect them.

It is important to remember that abuse is no one’s fault but the abuser’s.

Age isn’t the only factor in power dynamics either. Consider a company where the CEO is a 21-year-old woman in a relationship with a 40-year-old male intern.

Environment and personal attributes play a significant role in how we define and judge power dynamics. Maybe it’s a matter of attractiveness. We tend to ignore age gaps when they occur between heartthrobs, which applies especially to film.

Does attractiveness change how we view age? Or is it more about the lack of a visual difference in age? As a society, we may be willing to disregard age-gaps in cinema and in life if the couple is equally attractive.

Some films, though, lean into the taboo of age-gaps. “Miller’s Girl,”

Secondly, AI works by scraping existing art and writing from human artists, then rescrambling it without crediting or compensating the artists or source material it used.

I don’t believe AI’s position as a “tool” inherently gives it or its use moral neutrality. A guillotine is also a tool. That doesn’t mean we ought to, or need to, use it.

starring Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman, leans into the controversy of the older man/younger woman trope. Critics and viewers alike called the film problematic, but it was a fascinating bit of cinema.

Movies let us indulge without fear.

We know that something is wrong or socially unacceptable, but movies allow us to examine it in more detail.

Age gaps aren’t always depicted as problematic. In many cases, they’re treated so normally we don’t even notice. That has pros and cons, depending on the piece of media.

On one hand, normalizing age gaps in film potentially reduces stigma in the real world. On the other hand, it potentially downplays red flags and the real-life problems that can be related to dating a much older partner.

Age-gap films tend to ignore said problems. “Something’s Gotta Give,” starring Jack Nicholson, addressed the problems and ultimately ended with its protagonist choosing an ageappropriate partner.

Many factors go into the prevalence of age-gap relationships in film. It may be a phenomenon for which there is no single answer.

At the end of the day, pop culture is important, but it’s nothing without our reactions to it. Art for art’s sake is still made for an audience.

I recognize that News Port is a small publication with limited resources to get photographers and photographs. But any breach of the contract journalists have with the public, for any reason, feels like a failure on our part. Where do we draw the line? What’s to stop us from lying about something bigger, bolder, more important? How can we, in good faith, ask the public to trust us again?

I think of the quote hung in the Daily Lobo newsroom, a motto of sorts: “Get it first, but first, get it right.” I just hope it doesn’t get any worse.
