"Know what is important news and what is not,"
Charles Gibson told graduates at Union College yesterday. I think this part of
his speech is interesting:
| |  "And, don't disparage the mainstream media. The editor of your hometown newspaper or the producers of network newscasts don't have 30 or 40 years of experience for nothing. When you see a news organization get fixated on non-stop coverage of Paris Hilton, or Anna Nicole Smith, or Michael Jackson, go elsewhere.
When an announcer says, 'It's a report you have to see,' you probably don't. When an anchor says, 'shocking details,' they probably aren't. When a reporter claims his news is 'fair and balanced,' it probably isn't." | |
