An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw
It's pep talk time for the evening crews. We'll have seven crews out -- one at each candidate gathering we can find and two at Edwards' (it looks as if he might get as much as 40 percent). Had a lot of static images today; could have done better in that area. But some really good images and reporting, too. Now comes the real test -- can we manage the newsflow with three storybuilders as the congratulations and consolations flood in?
