Daily Princetonian Satisfies No One, Least of All the Department of Labor, Which is Auditing Their Ass

by Robyn Schneider | October 28, 2008 at 11:49 pm

Oh yes, this just in: the Daily Princetonian is (allegedly!) being audited by the New Jersey Department of Labor.  According to our anonymous source, an incriminating and highly contraband email from the Prince’s tax guy, and our nose for scandal, it is SO on.  DOL vs. the Daily Princetonian.  And we’re taking bets.

Intrepid journalists that we are, Ivygate decided to contact the Prince for their side of the story. After a week of emails unanswered, phone calls dodged, futile attempts to leave a voice mail in their filled capacity box, and a bevy of confused business office lackeys who promised to “pass on our message,” Ivygate finally heard back from the Business Manager at the Prince. What he said: “no comment”. What we heard: “damn you, Ivygate, how did you guess?”

Don’t concern yourselves with our seeming omniscience, Daily Princetonian. Just make sure that all of you who were issued a 1099 from the paper for 2007 have your stories straight, and your contraband hidden in your hollowed out textbooks.

And as for you, readers, we’ll let you know how this scandal plays out.

    They don’t pay their staff to begin with. It’s volunteer students. What taxes are there to dispute?

    They sell ads and I think at least the EIC gets paid — the number I heard was around $10,000.

    all the editors get paid. perhaps if they started deducting pay for every correction they had to make, things would improve over there

    why do they get paid? nobody from any other campus organizations gets paid. the officers for the juggling club don’t get paid.

    also, i perused the yale daily news and the daily crimson and neither have writing that seems significantly better than the prince.

    This is news the Prince should have reported immediately.

    I’ve been trying to comment on Prince articles demanding that they cover a state investigation of their own newspaper. Unsurprisingly, my comments are deleted as soon as they are posted.

    What are you hiding, Prince???
