Hello 'Hershman,' Goodbye Woodward? This item is almost two months old, but following a trail of blog comments just led me there today -- even though I get weekly e-mail alerts from the story's source. I don't know how I missed it, but I'm glad to have added it to my bookmark list. Thanks, Mountain Laureate, for that pointer, and also this one. All three links are about the difficulty of staying optimistic in the journalism business, and the satisfaction of finding reporters who are still fighting the good fight. Belated or not, I'll link this up to my main blog too.
