-----------March 12, 2007Where Musicscribe Draws The LineSusan Unthank sparked a good discussion a few weeks ago that's still underway. The topic began as "What Do You Want To Read," but has since morphed into "Where Do You Draw The Line" when it comes to reporting negative news. If it's some bit of news that may be perceived as negative, I draw the line at verifying the facts. This doesn't mean I necessarily wait for a press release to be issued. I've been known to pose questions without waiting to be spoon fed. After the facts are confirmed, I then try to apply the "What Would Jesus Do?" principle. I also ask myself, "Would I say this if the parties being discussed were in the same room?" (Of course, I'm not particularly shy. Some things I might say to a person, another person might not.) There's another extreme I also make every effort to avoid. Just as there is a line between reporting negative news and gossip/rumor, there's also a line between positive news and sensationalism. That's why you'll rarely see me quote a press release word for word. I should also point out that one major difference between Musicscribe and pure news reporting is that we're more about opinions. Daniel Britt or I may allude to a news story or even break news on rare occasions, but it's usually so we can add our own opinion to what has transpired. I don't lose any sleep if we get scooped, because reporting the news isn't really our first concern. Labels: Observations, Other Forums posted by David Bruce Murray @ 11:30:00 PM
