If your laptop, cell phone or tablet has ever consumed power in the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism newsroom, chances are you've had to crawl under a table to plug it into a power outlet.


That seems like a really easy problem to fix, right?


It is.


This is a formal petition, requested by the Grad Council, to show support for power strips located on topof all the tables in the newsroom, instead of underneath.


A simple solution for a simple problem.

Seeing this much momentum makes me feel a little less crazy about crawling under those desks every single day. I am exhausted by the constant friction but the support is keeping me focused on the goal.

We carry a lot of equipment around when reporting. Let's not let kneepads be one of them.
