pointing fingers.


I just love this photo of Michelle Williams on this month's cover of the UK magazine Wonderland. What do you think?
I'm curious to know what you think of the media's coverage of Heath's passing. It's hard to think about what she must be going through with everyone watching her every move.
I definitely think this is where the idea of civic journalism comes in--remembering we are humans first and journalists second. We (journalists) seemingly tend to get generalized and it really bothers me sometimes when everything is blamed on "the media" because who exactly are they talking about--bloggers? newspaper reporters? anchormen/women? photographers? paparazzi? political figures? tv hosts? The word has lost all meaning.
