Beaminator RIP
The Beaminator, an excellent blog looking inside the work of a daily police beat reporter at a mid-sized daily, is no more.
Draw your own conclusions. ☠
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

"What will you do if we let you go home,
And the plastic's all melted and so is the chrome?
Who are the brain police?"
Hang in there, Beaminator.

Hopefully his higher-ups at the newspaper didn't see the blog and then overreact. I agree, it was a wonderful read and brought me back to my days working for a southern daily.
