"The final question reporters must ask themselves stems from the fact
that journalists aren’t just part of the game of media manipulation.
They’re the trophy. Consequently, before they publish a word,
journalists must seriously consider what role they’ll end up playing in
the narrative, and whose work they’ll end up doing as a result."

Via Betsy McCall and Kee Hinckley.
