5% Salary Giveback

What the news does always surprises me: it gives more than one side, it can be very fair, and it shows me things I sometimes ignore or wouldn't see otherwise.
    The Boston Globe is notorious for this.
    I can't believe that whenever I turn on the news or plug-in to an article, I hear about something I never would have dreamed of.
   I hear about sides to a story I couldn't have guessed on my own.

   For the past two years, I've thought a lot about University budget cuts and economic budget cuts within the nation. I kept wondering, why don't the leaders just cut some of their salary? They don't need all that. It could at least get us started.

   So what did B-Globe do?
   It put out this headline.

 

Obama will give back 5% of salary


   Yep. Thank you journalism! You constantly show me the different sides. I don't understand why people think journalism will fade out with the newspapers anymore. I used to be one of those skeptics. Will journalism meet its maker? 
  And the answer is no. Because there is just too much ignorance in the American people without a journalistic media to convey what's happening from the higher-ups and the lower-downs of whatever we are. 
   Again, thank you journalism.
