"Sneer When You Say 'Journalist'" Michael D'Antonio no Los Angeles Times, reflecte sobre o descrédito da profissão de jornalista. Mais ainda: sobre o ridiculo em que, em certas circunstâncias ela caiu. Recorda o Prof. Murray, premiado com um Pulitzer: "Murray taught that serious journalism is not so much a talent as it is a craft, like carpentry. Of course, some carpenters make fine cabinets and others rough out the frames of houses. But all of it can be respectable work. The hard part is adhering to the trade's values, which apply in every setting. For journalists the most central of these values are fairness, honesty and independence. Bias is impossible to eliminate, but you can police it and compensate for it. And there is no substitute for skepticism. True believers have faith that provides answers. Journalists ask questions and challenge assumptions. The only problem with journalism by the Murray rules is that it takes a great deal of hard work, and the results are not always scintillating. Balanced stories rarely get the blood boiling. But what good reporting lacks in sizzle is made up for in authenticity."
