Too much feelings, too much opinion, not enough dispassionate facts. But keep telling yourself how important and “educated” you “journalists” are.

Have you noticed how the Bill Gates’ of the world got fed up with school in the first few months. Point is, I’d like a little less professional and bit more fact in the local news. Best guy around here does the weather on channel 7. If only he would teach the others how. Popkee is good but his frame is bent to the left.

Clarification: Some writing professionals are “journalists,” because they have four-year college degrees in journalism (accountants have accounting degrees, doctors have medical degrees, lawyers have law degrees). That means they have received well-rounded educations in all aspects of the media, i.e. news-editorial (newspaper reporting), broadcasting, public relations, photojournalism, advertising, mass media law, etc., as well as healthy doses of liberal arts, such as English, literature, creative writing, business and so on. I agree that BG does a better job of fleshing out important stories than some Legacy media outlets these days.

KTA (Kappa Tau Alpha-School of Journalism honor society.)

I’ve always for it humorous when the professionals changed their title from reporter to journalist. Journalist implies creative writing whereas reporting is just the facts.

EDITOR NOTE–Most telling were e-mails between Andresen and the city, the locker room rules of USA Hockey which the city claims are observed with regard to supervision.

Does this “real journalist” still work in “journalism” because if they do no wonder they don’t give their real names – the state of “journalism” in Boise/Idaho/USA stinks.

We learn more about what’s going on in Boise from the Guardian than from any “news” outlet. The Statesman is a joke. Oftentimes the stories appear here first. Other times the Statesman just vomits what their betters in government tell them. And if the local television “news” didn’t have “doppler radar” they’d be bereft of any content to fill their 30 minutes of dreck.

Oh one more thing. Was the “news” that this guy resigned/got fired in the paper? Seems to me this would be something worthy of a story. Maybe “a real journalist” could do that.

EDITOR NOTE–We will make the same offer to you that we made to others: You can have equal space to give your side of the issue. Comments are all over the board. A posting needs to have some documents (which we had from the parent). Don’t know where you got the 2% figure. We had only a single parent contact us directly. If the guy resigned over pressure from a single parent or the city forced the resignation over the single complaint it must have been a whopper. If we are one sided it’s because the city offers no comment and your 98% have declined our offer for equal space.
