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
