In a shocking report published by a Congressional investigative committee, it was revealed that the Chicago Business staff justify the time they spend on the school newspaper on the belief that Chicago GSB students actually read the paper. This questionable theory raised eyebrows by investigators who themselves were former students at the school.
"We feel like we are really making a difference," said Co-Editor-In-Chief Jason Rosenthal. "Our hard-hitting articles are really making an impact on the school." When asked to refer to at least one such article as an example, Jason pointed to the window, shouted "Elvis", jumped out, and was never seen from again.
"GSB students look forward every other week to getting their new issues of ChiBus," said Alison Nickum, Co-Editor-In-Chief, "They just love it. Watching the looks on their faces when they see fresh copies in their mail folders is priceless, especially the ones who immediately deposit their issues in the nearest trash receptacle. We figure they were so anxious they must have already read it online!"
"I actually enjoy spending 12 hours on a Tuesday laying the paper out. Thinking about all the smiling faces come Thursday really keeps me going. I mean, what better way can I spend my time?" asked Karthee Madasamy, Managing Editor, business school student, husband, and father of two.
"The paper is so well-edited, people can't tell if they are reading Chicago Business or the New York Times. There isn't a day that goes by without a headhunter calling me about another gig at the Wall Street Journal," reported Managing Editor Praveen Mellacheruvu. "I might have to change phone numbers."
Online Editor Brendan Joyce added, "Sometimes I do wonder why I spend all those hours laying the articles out on the website. But then I remember: we owe it the world to get Sharpie's messages of love to as many people as possible."
Paul Jan, Managing Editor, noted: "Being an editor is a great way to meet chicks. If I'm at a bar and I drop the hint that I write and edit for a business school newspaper, I'm not going home alone. Just ask any of the 'satisfied customers', if you know what I mean (wink)."
