If supplying such information were routinized, if it were expected and thus became a part of the fabric of the process, it would NOT be so burdensome. It would also incorporate ethical introspection into the reporting/writing process. I will speak from personal experience here. With some frequency I simply "did the work" according to what I considered to be the assumptions of the newsroom. Most of the time those assumptions were fine, but sometimes I was more automaton than moral agent. So, it would be interesting to know the degree to which this little Idaho paper has made this sort of introspection and explanation part of every day.....J.Michael Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748774253168313345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158350.post-34249021856801156072007-01-29T19:31:00.000-08:002007-01-29T19:31:00.000-08:00great post michael.
