(2003-07-05) — Journalists across the nation were surprised this week when news about presidential candidate Howard Dean made headlines across the nation.
“He came out of nowhere,” said one unnamed reporter. “First, I wrote this story about his growing popularity among Democrats, and next thing you know I was writing about the buzz his campaign is generating. Who knew that he would get so much coverage?”
Journalists, also known as reporters, write stories about things that happen, endeavoring to accurately render the nature of current affairs. They labor diligently out of the spotlight, directing attention to issues in public discourse, and events that affect their readers.
