The Good Life of Journalists:
“I hope that my achievements in life shall be these—that I will have fought for what was right and fair, that I will have risked for that which mattered, and that I will have given help to those who were in need, that I will have left the earth a better place for what I’ve done and who I’ve been.”
—Art Hoppe (1925-2000), columnist, San Francisco Chronicle (Thanks to alert WORDster Marc Davidson)

Good for Art. However, the problem that I see nowadays is that, while many journalists try to uncover the truth, many more are more more interested in sensationalism--whatever creates the most hype--instead of going for accuracy. It's now wonder the general public has grown skeptical of the media, and the "spin" that it puts on its stories. I don't want senationalism, I want truth.
