Interesting quote:

We’re encouraged to see high-quality journalism as dispassionate, so that professionals do their jobs without advocating. But passive acceptance of murderous priorities in our midst is a form of de facto advocacy. It’s advocacy of the most convincing sort—by example.

From here.

Thank you for this. I wanted to say something just like this in a biz meeting yesterday where it would have been totally inappropriate. But it might be a good thing to send to some of my colleagues and discuss over some tea.

I've been meta-ing on media issues a lot this year. I can't wait until I can get into my senior seminar class and get credit for doing so. ;)
