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
Andy Bechtel at the "other" Carolina university explicates (I love being an "academic" -- means I can use that word) and entertains at The Editor's Desk.

Hmm. The "other" Carolina university. That would be Clemson? ;-) Hope you're having a cool summer, friend.
Thanks for the mention, Doug. I have connections to both Carolinas, with a bachelor's degree in journalism from USC and a master's degree from UNC.
My brother went to Clemson. Someone had to.
The "other" Carolina? The one in the vale of humility between two ... nah.
Welcome to Andy, and tnx as always to Doug for keeping us advised on who's out there.
