Common Sense Journalism

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

In case it's too small to read, here they are:

A.H. Belo, Owner of The Journal, Plans to Cut 500 Jobs - Providence Journal
Newspapers fight negative perceptions in new ads - Associated Press/AP Online
Dallas Morning News Parent A.H. Belo to Cut About 500 Jobs - The Dallas Morning News
