Faced with a compelling narrative Tuesday - students come together in a broad and diverse coalition to demand that Yale cease redlining Fair Haven, and the head of ONHSA shows up to announce a dramatic change in University policy after years of organizing in the community for change, the YDN and the Reigister found a peculiar way of covering it: The YDN wrote a story about the student demand which downplayed the concession by the administration, and the Register wrote a story about the change in University policy which downplays the students' demand for it...This is one of those cases where you would need at a minimum to read both stories to begin to get a sense of what's going on here.
