Who is a journalist?

.
Job Description
“Journalism covers a multitude of jobs, from writing advice columns to covering wars, but investigative journalism occupies a special place. It is the most complex discipline within the profession. It entails poking your nose into places it's not welcome. It often requires the skills of a detective, the nerve of a charlatan, and the persuasive powers of a seducer.”

—Robert Siegel, radio host, National Public Radio. URL April 25, 2012

  1. When I went to work (in 1969 or 70) at the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail I was actually issued a riot helmet complete with face shield with the promise of a gas mask to come later--which it never did.

    Anyway the riot gear "to be kept in your car at all times" was a bracing introduction to the daily newspaper business in those days.

    Peace upon thee and thine.

    Retired ne'er do well.
