Journalism. Remember that?
On June 1 the News Sentinel's Kevin Leininger did his homework and footwork and answered a number of questions about a large, ugly building on West Jefferson.
Mr. Leininger researched the address, interviewed people involved with the situation and published a well-written story. That's how Journalism used to be done.
How is Journalism done today?
Four days later the kids at the TV stations read Mr. Leininger's story, added some video, and passed the story on to their viewers as if they, the TV kids, had done all the work Mr. Leininger did.
The least they could do is send Mr. Leininger a thank you note.

ReplyDeleteI know. That was so cheap of those other "sources".
Kevin is from the old school of journalism.
And this city will suffer much when he decides to retire.
(which I hope is not for some time)
"That's how Journalism is used to be done." Really now?
ReplyDeleteEric, you try writing this stuff without drinking...thanks for the comment.
