Having fun? Part II
And I'm having fun because figuring this out is fun. Gregory Favre, a former editor in the newspaper big leagues and now with Poynter, nails the responsibility of journalists in this post at CJR Daily.
I am more concerned about how we keep faith with those readers, on any platform, who want insight and wit and integrity in reporting; who want information that includes knowledge and a sense of perspective; who want intellectual honesty and a devotion to fairness; and who have a hunger for good writing and good storytelling, for the graceful use of the language, for showing what happened rather than just telling them, or, as Faulkner once said, helping others by lifting their hearts.
This challenges us every day and some days we're more successful than others. But you should know that's what we're striving for.
