After you rub the sleep out of your eyes tomorrow, you'll find your annual gift from Beat the Press posted here: Our annual BTP Year-in-Review show!
Our YIR panel this year is Emily, Callie, Joe, Dan and Adam Reilly and they'll tackle the big news in the news business for 2009 in three categories: newsers who were Making the News themselves, Media Meltdowns, and Hype & Hysteria.
If you just can't wait until tomorrow for a recap, check out Adam's terrific 2009 compendium of Fourth-estate follies he compiled for his employer, the Boston Phoenix.

What the Globe is doing to our poor Kara.
I kind of liked the tabloid chutzpah they displayed in the headline of the initial article, even if it was not necessarily reflective of the content. Shows spunk.
But, as if to pile on, they're teasing her heartfelt follow-up on the front page of Boston.Com currently with the headline: "US Students lazy, flirty"
I . . . suspect that's the last time Kara will be submitting to the Globe.
Just a hunch.
@Harry: I hope Kara is enjoying the well-deserved attention. Lord knows it's not easy to write something that more than a handful of people will read and react to. It was a fine piece of work.
Amen, Dan. Unfortunately . . . the Globe is at it again.
The latest article on the situation, written by Jason Woods, has a first sentence that reads as follows:
"Babson College's undergraduate dean is taking issue with a recent claim by one of the school's adjunct professors who called her American students "lazy.""
Kara did no such thing. And quotation marks don't make it any truer.

PS: Someday, Kara will have to share with us what it's like to have your life turn into the subplot of a Tom Wolfe novel.
I suspect we'll soon learn that some of the students she (never) called "lazy" are honor students, on the verge of turning their lives around.
The rallies with community activists can't be far behind.
Hilarious. They've changed the opening sentence to now read:
"Babson College's undergraduate dean is taking issue with a recent claim by one of the school's adjunct professors who suggested that her American students were lazy."
Neat that they can simply cover up their mistakes like that.
The saga continues . . .
The Globe has accepted for publication an opposing viewpoint, an article from a Babson student named Lauren Garey, who is bylined as a "Guest Columnist." The headline for this screed?
"Lazy American students? Uninformed professor!"

I am delighted to report that the article contains the following sentence:
"In fact, Miller’s spring teaching schedule comprises of three introductory liberal arts courses at a business-specific college."
See you at the candlelight vigil, Lauren!
It'll be comprises of lots of fellow outraged students.
