> I work in the press Thanks for sharing your expertise. I'm sure others value it as well. > I argue we should reconsider accepting half-truths in exchange for protections of an elite press. We desperately need a press devoted to working people ... While I agree with the second phrase (and in fact you can find another comment where I already said it), I don't understand what you mean by the first and I'm very interested in your professional perspective: More protections for professional journalism? Government funding? Ending free speech for non-journalists? It's a bit ambiguous. > I desire to take more risk in the name of competent work, but as long as I must compete with those comforted by the standard operating procedures, I am afraid I cannot. Can you spell out what those standard procedures are and why they stop you? Again, very interested, and I'm sure others would be too. Based on my limited knowledge, the primary issue is that the publication must work for customers who can pay enough to support them, which are the middle/upper-class.
