Today's Word—And That's the Way It Was...

Write the Truth and Raise Hell:

“Now I’m not a 22-year-old HTML kid and have little interest in writing about Britney’s panties. So no newspapers are calling. I’m a writer living in Seattle. Aside from the risk of living under a bridge, I’m free to write the truth and raise hell. That was once the calling of the best newspapers. Now a few of us will try to carry it on as guerrilla journalists and rogue columnists.”
—Jon Talton, veteran journalist who has left the business, for obvious reasons, 2008 (Thanks to alert WORDster Lois Berkowitz)
