Our future editors?

Been meaning to send props out to Eric Gentry, the editor-in-chief of DeSoto High School's Eagle Eye, and his staff, who debunked the claims a pricey gang intervention consultant was making to the school board. WFAA's Brett Shipp picked up the story, and it looks like the DMN edit board is singing its praises in tomorrow's edition.

Several of us were high school newspaper moguls, so we're duly impressed, both by the reporting and by the look of the paper (see video) -- very sophisticated.

This developing story is a great example of how amateur journalists (or pros in training) and the MSM can and should work hand-in-hand.
