As Carnegie Mellon's first exclusively online student-run news source, The Carnegie Pulse aims to bring high-quality, relevant news and opinions to the fingertips of students, faculty, and staff.
First and foremost, the Pulse is committed to factual, objective reporting. We strive to represent the interests of Carnegie Mellon's on- and off-campus community, and commit ourselves to treating writers and readers with great respect. The Pulse is free from sensationalism and bias, and though we are officially recognized by the University, we are independently financed and motivated.
With frequent postings, the Pulse will keep readers up to date with campus and community news. We encourage readers to submit their feedback, so that we can best respond to their needs and interests. We see our online forum as an appropriate means for communicating with such a technologically advanced university.
The Pulse is also designed to be a useful experience for aspiring journalists. Contributors will be required to meet deadlines and will receive regular feedback from readers, editors, and other members of writing-related fields. Still, writers will have a strong voice in the final presentation of their articles, and will be aware of any factual or stylistic corrections as they are made, ensuring their creative control.

Using some popular superstition, stereotype or prejudice to your advantage.
This expression is used in marketing and stems from 1874 when industrialist Andrew Carnegie paid a circus to walk their elephant across his new bridge. Since there was a popular supersition that elephants will never cross unsafe structures, Carnegie used this popular belief to "prove" to public that his bridge is safe.
Fast food restaurants and stands selling Gyros often decorate themselves with Greek flag colors and Greek key patterns even though neither the owner nor the employees are of Greek origin.
Every pizzeria tries to give itself an Italian image/name/theme even if no employees nor the owner are of Italian origin.
Fortune cookies are used to advertise Chinese restaurants and served in them but are not of Chinese origin.

We photoshopped glasses on our model for the new software ad. It's Carnegie's elephant. Glasses give that "smart" look.

People who sermonize on and on, so that you want to fucking kill them.
Like people saying "Smoking kills. Healthy life-style rules. Blah-blah-blah..."
Actually named after Dale Carnegie – a famous writer and lecturer, who developed a lot of self-improvement courses and shit.

Anyone can become one of "Dale Carnegie people" if they start to moralize very annoyingly.

To admit you are at fault in order to get your own way or serve a hidden agenda.
Based on Dale Carnegie's book 'How to win friends and influence people', In tense situations readers are advised to dismiss their egos and apologise in order to maintain healthy relationships.
