It’s interesting to think of how the actual business end of journalism is set up. It’s something I don’t usually think about. “Who runs this” or “where would this fit?” I know who I write for and I stick with that.
There’s something to be said for just how many people run the news and how dedicated they are to everything journalism needs to be: fair, unbiased, and accurate. The daily or twice-daily meetings, the shutting down of advertising opinions…it’s all for the greater good. It’s nice to see that for once.
I loved the story about the car dealer. Naturally he would demand a new piece to make him shine. For some reason that just made me realize why car dealers are usually made fun of in movies and TV shows. That, however, is a whole ‘nother story.
