Perspective and proportionality was something I was emphatic about with my news staffs. It is too easy to get lost in the flow of a breaking story and loose a sense of meaning and relevance. <br /><br />It is this very point that I applaud Aaron Sorkin for illustrating now in three episodes of<br />The Newsroom. In the background of the story lines which are playing out in the drama is a sense of journalistic conscience.Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-17099371917312034182012-07-23T19:30:29.957-07:002012-07-23T19:30:29.957-07:00More of this syndrome is referenced in the respons...More of this syndrome is referenced in the response from Maryann just below.<br />There is such a desire to be first, that it overtakes perspective and proportionality.Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-46560487183247696702012-07-23T17:48:30.930-07:002012-07-23T17:48:30.930-07:00Wasn't it also ABC who revealed that the kille...Wasn't it also ABC who revealed that the killer was a Tea Party member, an erroneous claim they later apologized for? Too often, the rush to be first to break a story takes precedence over the obligation to provide the facts. Maybe some feel it's a risk worth taking. <br />MaryannAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-59099616623660500952012-07-23T15:38:23.649-07:002012-07-23T15:38:23.649-07:00Your post and the effect the media has on us was p...Your post and the effect the media has on us was played out today with the revelation that ABC took this Colorado killer's Mother's comment totally out of context when she said,"You have the right person."
