“While channel-surfing the other day, I came across a fresh-faced, young reporter for a cable network aggressively following an important person around an airport and refusing to let up with his questions. The unwilling interviewee grew angry, suddenly snapping and shouting at the reporter to leave him alone. ‘Do you think you’re immune to questions?’ the reporter shouted back repeatedly. I was speechless. ‘Do you think you’re immune to questions?’ It was perfect — such a simple and powerful question. This would have been the most hopeful piece of journalism I had seen in years if it weren’t for one small detail: This was not a journalist from CNN or Fox or MSNBC. … The exchange was between an E! network reporter and a Hollywood celebrity. And that’s when it clicked. Could the news media learn something from the paparazzi?” (03/16/10) Link: http://tinyurl.com/yccgp63 Filed under: PND Commentary and RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
