The Poetry of...Helen Thomas
The changes are immense, no noise of clicking
teletypes and typewriters, obsolete technology,
little real editing unfortunately, instantaneous
communication and more superficiality,competition based on personality
instead of content in depth, insecurity
about where newspapers are headed,
money a big factor in all thingstalk show hosts peddling disinformation,
lack of transparency
by even Obama administration, blocking torture photos,
calling reporters the night before
presidential news conferences to tell them
they will be called on, Hope all is not lost
in our great business.
