What I have heard is complaints that some of them have crossed lines that never used to be crossed before in efforts to get stories.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-88950273320452203042011-07-25T08:36:42.434-07:002011-07-25T08:36:42.434-07:00I've found a lot of the lack of respect for jo...I've found a lot of the lack of respect for journalists is due to fear. A portion of the public doesn't want to hear the truth because it's a scary world out there, especially in small community newspapers. They don't want to believe their towns are being infiltrated by gangs, drugs, violence, crooked politicians, etc., etc. So rather than accept it so they can try to stop it, they bury their heads in the sand. Thus, when a reporter writes about these things, they are chastised. How dare they report such scandal as if they are no better than the rag sheets. This is a trend I've been observing for the past 20 years and it isn't getting any better.LuAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049897327581610278noreply@blogger.com
