Following the Kyonoke Inquest and crisis onboard H4-RP4, I feel it absolutely necessary and essential to nominate Ret Gloriaxx, from the Galactic Hour, with Ret Gloriaxx, and his staff, for the University of Caille Award for Journalist Excellence.
Ret and his crew performed incisive, comprehensive journalism under extreme threat of harm and death, as active gun battles, outbreak of Kyonoke Plague, intergalatic conspiracies, and other chaos raged around them.
They deserve our full support for their excellent performance under these conditions. We could not have as effectively communicated our situation to the Cluster without them, and the voice of the baseliner would have been lost in the din of capsuleer politics.

Although I prefer a more level-headed approach to journalism I agree that Ret Gloriaxx and his team went above and beyond the call of duty and definitely deserve the recognition. |

Ret! :D <3 <3 <3 I saw him take his sunglasses off, once. Just once. It became immediately clear that he wears them to protect the unwary from accidental exposure to that much focused journalism. I support this! |

I wholeheartedly endorse this nomination. Although his style is not to everyone's taste, Ret and his team produce one of the more objective news programmes of The Scope network, and their courage and professionalism on this dangerous assignment fully deserve recognition. |

It's a rare day indeed when I can agree to something that comes out of Soter's mouth.
"Face the enemy as a solid wall
For faith is your armor
And through it, the enemy will find no breach
Wrap your arms around the enemy
For faith is your fire
And with it, burn away his evil"

I do have one question: how in all the worlds did such an ... intense ... journalist remain unaware that something was a little strange about the woman carrying his camera? I mean, she did blend in pretty well, but it seems like there should have been hints somewhere, considering that by the start of Day 2 she'd recently been shot.
Are there things I'm missing about how that all played out? |

With such entertaining journalistic instincts, I believe it is only right and just that Ret Gloriaxx and his dedicated and hard-working team should be nominated, for this, one of the highest journalistic excellence awards in New Eden. |

While I found his style distasteful, and the insults nigh slanderous, I have to join my fellow delegate in endorsing his work.

I ... kind of agree. I guess. Though I admit he kind of struck me as a very dense cloud of ego in sunglasses more than a journalist.
Also he was about as apolitical as a giant green banner imprinted with the Federal eagle and embroidered with the words, "Freedom Forever, Long Live the Federation!"
I think I've seen more nuanced, objective journalism from NOH. Routinely.
... Most of the credit I'd give him, really, was for turning up at such a dangerous event in the first place, but I kind of got the feeling he was barely aware there was a chance he might die, even if he did bring up the fact that we "immortals" were being given undue power over the fates of fragile, mortal people like him every chance he got. |

Obviously "The Galactic Hour" is a program which caters to a demographic that values sensationalist hyperbole over substance, but it apparently takes a reporting team as driven as this one to go the extra mile and stay on the story when others would long have fled the scene due to safety concerns. To honour this dedication and not inflate the ego of Ret Gloriaxx even further I would amend my commander's motion and propose to grant the award to the program as a whole rather than its anchorman.

A man - a journalist - an ideal. Charismatic, incorruptable, best informend. Ret Gloriaxx is the right person for this award!
Honoring Ret Gloriaxx for his fearless commitment during the Kyonoke-Outbreak, is honoring every single achievement a progressive society stands for: Liberty, freedom of speech and the brave decisiveness to speak for those, who live in peril, dictatorship and a continous state of opression through old-fashioned archetypes!
I support this nomination!

Inordinately flattering as this suggestion is, the UoC award for journalism has always been given to baseliners for doing baseliner journalism in dangerous circumstances, and I see no reason why this august tradition should change. The Galactic Hour brought these critical events to the attention of the wider cluster, and their reporting helped to focus delegates' attention on the mortal lives we had gathered to protect. They did fine work.
(Also honestly I think after settling this latest round of embarrassing lawsuits over the "Exotic Fedo" incident, Ret could probably use the money.) |

Cyrillian:
Didn't know the award was just for Baseliners. If so then nominating "The Discourse" and crew are not appropriate, true.
Given that, I can see the award going out to Ret. I have to confess to knowing less about Baseliner news than I probably should.

The University of Caille Award for Journalism Excellence was and is dedicated to non-military, non-capsuleer news organizations and participants. The rationale, as I understand it, was to support those that take risks to their lives and reputation. Without a clone backup, I believe Ret qualifies.

Too bad Gutter Press was not covering this event. Shirley Serious would have shown us what real journalism looks like, especially since she would not have overlooked the esoteric or demonic aspects of the story. |

Completely agreed, a White Caldari would do him a world of good after the lawsuits about the Exotic Fedo incident. And I might make one for myself as well... |

Perhaps, whilst she was part of the team, I would personally like to see the results and I haven't seen any of her finished work appearing in publication. |
