The Temple News is comprised of students only. Therefore, we need some more.
We’re hosting a GENERAL INTEREST MEETING on Thursday, Feb. 19, 2009 in Room 217A of the Student Center at 4:30 p.m.
This is your chance to meet some of the other editors, see what we’re about and get your name known. This is not specific to journalism majors! No experience is necessary, and anyone can join.
We’re looking for it all: reporters, photographers, videographers, multimedia experts, etc.
Questions? Call 215.204.7416 or e-mail info@temple-news.com.
Temple put together a nice Web site for the celebration of its 125th anniversary. You’ll see our coverage of the celebration in the Feb. 3 issue. Get ready. Get excited.
Temple University Weekly, which would eventually become The Temple News you all know and love today, is prominently featured on the home page.
One little aspect is missing. As we say in print, TTN has been “a watchdog for the Temple University community since 1921.” However, Temple does not recognize the creation of TTN in its timeline of the 1920s.
To give it credit, it does give a shout out to the Templar, founded in 1900.
We won’t take it too personally.
If you picked up the paper today, you were probably confused by the giant image that looks something like the love child of a crossword puzzle and a barcode. But then, after reading Online Editor Dave Isaac’s article, you learned about QR codes.
When you flipped to Page 4 of the Opinion section, you were probably confused again upon seeing this:
Ironic as it is, this is a map showing the below-basic literacy rates in these areas. In the paper, as you probably noticed, it is not labeled. But, here’s the fun part: it’s a test! If you look at Voice of the People at the bottom of Page 5, you’ll see that the question reads, “Philly has a 22 percent below-basic literacy rate. Is literacy really important?” The 22 percent in the question corresponds with the 22 percent shown for Philadelphia on the map. A-ha! If you realized that, give yourself a pat on the back — you are not part of that 22 percent. If you needed this blog post to tell you, congrats, you’re about as literate as the staff members (who will not be named) who forgot to label the map in the first place.
Hope you learned something new today, via your own means or Broad&Cecil. And get the hang of those QR codes, they’re the next big thing.
Ladies and gentlemen, Temple University has fallen victim to some sort of wicked, undying “phishing” scam, as the tech-savvy kids call it these days.
In plain English? Someone hacked into a TUmail account and spammed the Temple network with legit-looking e-mails that asked for username, password and date of birth and warned that TUmail accounts would be shut down if this information was not sent.
The folks over at computer services in the TECH Center want everyone to know – no matter how legit the e-mail looks, if it asks your password, it’s a scam. Read more of their comments and advice here.
Consider yourselves fairly warned, and take one for the common sense team by deleting that scam e-mail.
And let’s all hope the scam ends soon for the sake of our teeny-tiny TUmail inboxes that have been flooded with warning e-mails.
Also, check out TUsecure. This is your heads-up that all will soon be required to change their passwords to something with at least one capital letter, one lowercase letter and one number … with the added (allbeit slightly unnecessary) option of a special character. You know, something sufficiently impossible to remember but simultaneously absolutely un-crackable.
Some motivation for creating the new password? Word on the street, as reported by assistant news editor LeAnne Matlach on Monday, is that there are popups on TECH Center computers advertising the chance to win a free Ipod for making the change. Woo! Of course, you’ll have to password-protect that, too …
Just kidding.
Temple is not messing around with this one. Take that, hackers!
