It seems that most stories I read about journalism are geared towards the way it is crumbling around our ears. I came across a story About the classic Bill O’Reilly (Fox reporter) versus Keith Olbermann (MSNBC reporter) feud, that at first gave me the same gut feeling. However, there is a silver lining. The article indicates that both men have had their leashes tugged at by their corporate owners, in regards to their feud. The silver lining is that other news publications, Salon and New York mag, have picked up on this tugging, and written about it! Salon’s article shines a light on what journalism can be, and in fact, should be. I strongly encourage you all to read the article from Salon.
