BEST REPORTAGE OF THE WEEK GOES TO …

Doug Fraser of the Cape Cod Times

If more reporters wrote like Mr. Fraser, I wouldn’t have anything to rail about at the media. This is about lobster fishing and fishery politics up on Cape Cod (duh!), but if you read between the lines, you’ll find there are no lines to read between.

That’s because Fraser reports news by representing all sides of the story. It’s called “being objective” and should have been learned in Journalism 101, but – for many of the “reporters” on the MSM scene today – quite obviously wasn’t.

Go to the CAPE COD TIMES for a read, whether you care about or like lobster.

Good reporting is good reporting.
