After class today, I started reading a new book and stumbled upon this quote:
“Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does it morally indefensible.” -Janet Malcolm, The Journalist and the Murderer
Jut some food for thought.

I was going to try to find a quote to defend this thing we chose to do, a few words from someone to carry our banner forward, until I realized the large amount of quoted people throughout history have disliked us.
“Newspapers: dead trees with information smeared on them.” ~Horizon, “Electronic Frontier”
“Every newspaper editor owes tribute to the devil.” ~Jean de la Fontaine
“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.” ~Thomas Jefferson, champion of free speech and contributer to the first amendment.
And sorry for jumping down your throat today. I was on some bend about truth and justice or something.
Haha. I’m sorry for the “I come from a family of lawyers,” statement. Talk about a moot point.
Here’s a nice one.
“A news sense is really a sense of what is important, what is vital, what has color and life – what people are interested in. That’s journalism.”
-Burton Rascoe
