Journalism is publishing what someone doesn’t want us to know, the rest is propaganda.

-Horacio Verbitsky, journalist (b. 1942)

At first glance, my response to this is well, that’s a little bit narrow, maybe even cynical. Then I pondered it a while and decided it just might be true. Especially if you think of journalism as being essentially investigative, leaving out things like sports and storm damage.

Your reaction?
