I agree with you. Good journalism is hard to find. Almost 100% of the stories that I have contributed a story to any newspaper, and I know exactly what the facts are in the submitted story, always come out with something that is either made up or incorrect. I think most of the time they do not do it on purpose, usually it is ignorance, or lack of experience. They need to learn to ask clarifying questions and/or repeat back what they just heard and/or ask the source to proof the article before publication. For example, I wrote into the N-D about that person getting stuck in the Franklin Street bridge about if they asked if the bridge has an e-stop that the attendant can hit to immediately stop the bridge in whatever position it is in and they never published my letter to the paper. As a citizen that travels that bridge frequently, I would like to know, because if it does not have one, that is extremely unsafe for the public, and if it does have one, why didn't the bridge attendant use it? I would think a good reporter would have asked that question as one of the top 3 questions. In regards to what you said about the trial, I noticed that the last three stories in the paper including the one that said Larkin was guilty used his "nice" picture. Wouldn't they use his mugshot for the article that said he was found guilty? They made it look like he was happy to serve 2-8 years. I also was interested in knowing the facts, but I did not have time to attend the trial. Thanks for sharing what you heard. Thanks! I drive that bridge almost every day and it would be good information to have. |
