The Society Professional Journalists Don't Owe You Any Explanations
It's Friday the 13th, Steve Wasserman is ditching the LA Times Book Review, and all other media news has gone to shit (which may or may not be our fault). Case in point: the Deadline Awards from the Society of Professional Journalists (inexplicable trophy pictured at right). Now, Yahweh knows no one 'round here is "professional," and we're certainly not "journalists," but, well, this thing has us scratching our stupid little heads. Like, the award for best investigative reporting goes to The Herald, beat reporting to The Journal News — but which ones?! Clearly, a hyperlink or, dare we say it, any sort of elaboration would be far too informative. Professional journalists just don't play like that.
