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
Primary day begins. Teams are out armed with phone cams to capture a mosaic of the day across South Carolina's Midlands. The biggest debate so far this morning -- whether to put bylines on the entries. (The decision: Yes, it's personal journalism.) One can only hope that all issues today should be that easy to resolve.
