Asked by Trinity News editor Lauren Boland how he would react to a dispute within the editorial board of the paper or if an editorial was pitched that he fundamentally disagreed with, Caddle said that “it really depends on the disagreement… every disagreement is different”.
Boland asked Caddle about his assertion that University Times had a “writers problem” during Council Hustings. Pointing to the 80 staff in the University Times and its large pool of writers she asked: “Do you want to correct your comments or do you want to double down on them?”
Caddle said that there are “more than 80 people who want to write.” He asserted the need to “respond to people who want to write.” “I’m not stepping back from that. I’m going to double down, because it’s correct,” he concluded.
