Inside the Front Page

By Russell W. Freeburg

There is something solid and lasting about a printed word. It

doesn't float away like the spoken word. So many modifying adjectives and adverbs, and polarizing interchanges among talking heads, are often useless, even detrimental, to reporting the news. They create emotions and opinions, robbing the listener of independent thought. There have been many changes in media in recent years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, all newspaper publishers employed 455,000 reporters, salespeople, editors, and the like in 1990. By January, 2017 that workforce had been more than halved, and the slide continues.
