We are journalists. We are proud of what we do. We are tired of bad press about the press. We are trying to be "team players." We are terrified of more layoffs and paycuts. We would like to produce quality work without 'obamasux99' posting some non-sequitur rant at the end of it. We complain because we want things to be better. We would like some respect, plz. We are journalists.

I am a journalist because local news matters to people. No matter how small the story, there is always someone with an agenda trying to promote themselves or cover something up. We are the only way people can find out what’s really going on. We speak in plain English. It’s tough, it’s tiring and it’s thankless. But it matters. I am a local reporter.
