Welcome to my blog, a playground where I enjoy lingering to exercise my literary voice. May these words, poems, essays, inspire you to exercise your own "author within."

What Happened to Good Old-Fashioned Journalism?
Been witness to the local news media getting it so very wrong so often that we refuse to watch it any longer! With all their power to shape, manipulate, color public opinion, shame on local media for not being driven by ethics and continually distorting their so-called reports by shoveling to the public whatever will sell, and enable their corporate execs to amass $$$$$$$. We get what we tolerate. Journalism schools today emphasize marketing over ethics and profit -making over their civic obligation which is simply to report the news, the facts on all sides, the truth-----nothing more, nothing less.
