Hug a Reporter

.
First things first

“The bloggers are talkers, commentators, not reporters. The talk-show hosts are reactors, commentators, not reporters. The search engines can search but do not report. All of them, every single one of them, have to have the news in order to exist and thrive.”
—Jim Lehrer, journalist and host of PBS’s “NewsHour,” 2007
(Speech at UT-Austin, 11/6/07, American-Statesman)

Editor’s Note: Remember this? “Content is king.”
