Journalists should keep the news in proportion and make it comphrensive.
Oh man..this one is too easy to make fall apart.
In proprotion? to make the news a "part considered in relation to the whole." I understand that part..but how do you do it? You can't say, "well Joe's article on Slomo was good..but..let's cut it down.." And to make it comphrensive to most people, like those from Hempfield (I haven't made fun of the weasels lately, leave me alone.) you would have to do "See Jon? Jon did bad. Jon go to prison." Ok..so maybe its not that bad..but still..to make it comphrensive, you'd have to make things alot shorter for everything to make sense and for people to understand it.
I don't know..there are times I love journalism..then there are times I can't stand it..making this simplier to understand is one of those times.
