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." - 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

A blogger's tale of getting a press pass

Philip Smith, proprietor of the "At Liberty to Say" site - a blog covering hyperlocal news in that Upstate S.C. town, tells the tale of seeking out a press pass ... and continues in part two.

Nothing overly new here, but I always like to relay these posts from the front lines. They provide a reality check (I love the student ID-turned-press pass).

Smith also publishes Fixyourthinking.com.
