« Today's Reading List | Main | Score One for the Home Team » December 15, 2005Is Good News News?A reporter realizes what too few reporters ever do: that news doesn't have to be bad to be "news." Reporting and blogging for the Fairbanks, Alaska, Daily News-Miner from Iraq, where she's embedded with the 172nd Stryker Brigade near Mosul, Margaret Friedenauer writes: If I am truly unbiased, then I need to get used to this one simple fac;; that the untold story, might in fact, be a positive one. It takes a minute to wrap my mind around it, as a news junkie that became a news writer. The great, career-making, breaking news stories usually don't have happy endings; they usually revolve around disturbing news, deceit and downfall. Nasty political doings. Gruesome crimes and murders. Revealing secrets.Read the whole thing. And then ask yourself why your hometown paper isn't telling you the other side. Posted in Journalism & Media
