Columbia Spectator seems to ignore solutions

Last week I read a story about a homeless LGBT youth named Drew in a story by "Sarah Lockwood" in the Columbia Spectator.

Since the story dwelled on the negative I thought I’d send an email with resources available in the New York area. Resources that could turn the sad story of Drew into one with a happy ending. I sent an article from Edge New York which shared a LGBT homeless youth story with a positive outcome thanks to resources available in New York.

The email address on the story of Drew wouldn’t work. I tried a couple of times. I did some digging and found an email address to the news desk. I mentioned the article and author. I also mentioned I wasn’t able to contact the author at the Columbia Spectator email address provided in the article.

After a week I was surprised I never received a response.

Then today I see another similar story in the Columbia Spectator.

While it’s nice of them to publish the problem, it would be more productive to provide solutions.

Especially since solutions are currently available. Why is Columbia Spectator so quick to push out articles about LGBT youth when they apparently aren't interested in solutions?

They seemed more concerned with the problem then they are with solutions and something is very wrong with that approach.
