justification for existance

When the Counter Point Journal (CxPJ) began publication in spring 2009, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. However, we did get some negative responses. Some people thought we shouldn’t criticize the Cooper Point Journal (CPJ). Some questioned whether the college needed another newspaper. Some people demanded we justify ourselves. One pedant scolded us that “Counter Point” is one word. (Sure, and “Newsweek” is really two words. The point is?)
