I know there are some great journalists out there doing all the hard work and sharing their stories with the world, but it seems that those who are truly skilled at the craft are being buried by those who either have no love for the word, or have deluded themselves into believing they're real journalists. I've spoken to a few people about this here in Japan, and it seems that the new trend is to "surf Yahoo! News and paraphrase the world's events". I have a great deal of respect for several UK journalists as it seems that part of the world has not yet forgotten what it means to write intelligent and (mostly) impartial news stories. Your discussions on article impartiality sounds intriguing, and I look forward to reading them :) Hi, Tim.

See my 'blog'at Sky News blogs (UK News outfit) and let me know.I'm not claiming the writing is Updike - but the content might interest you. I'm working on getting more serious news on our site - the TV content is more heavyweight. There is a debate here in the UK that the days of attempting total impartiality are ending and on occasion we will explore the edges of reporter opinion. In the UK broadcasters must attempt balance under Government legislation. Regards, Tim Marshall. Foreign Affairs Editor. Sky News Hi Jason – I’d submit that some of us are here.

Editorials are good in moderation, but newspapers and magazines do have a very clear saturation point for that style of writing. Hopefully the juggernauts of media (BBC and ... umm ... I guess that's about it) don't follow the same path to self-obsolescence :???: I agree.
