Read Bob Fois' blog GENERAL COVERAGE Nov 27 Staten Island Advance Weekly EntertainmentOn Nov. 27, the Staten Island Advance Weekly Entertainment section (also known as AWE) corrected its earlier naming of Brian LeTendre in its Readers Poll results as “Best Wagner Grad on Broadway,” after we informed the Advance that LeTendre had never attended Wagner College. In his place, AWE recognized Bret Shuford '01, of “The Little Mermaid,” as “Best Wagner Grad on Broadway.”
According to AWE Editor Rob Bailey, while LeTendre was not one of the listed choices on the Readers Poll ballot, which was published weekly from mid-August through the end of September, he “was an overwhelming write-in choice when we were compiling nominations. We shouldn’t have assumed he went to Wagner,” Bailey admitted. “I think this was the work of some diehard fans who think they are collectively quite funny.”
It should be noted that Bailey checked into our concern about the LeTendre error as soon as he received our e-mail, and promptly admitted the error and his responsibility for it as soon as he had finished researching the matter in his office. Bailey is a great media partner of the institution, and we’re happy to have him as a friend of Wagner College.
