M(W)M(N)MM #185 --- Awards for Reporters

     OK, I missed posting last monday's Morning Media Memo..this is a one person operation after all (-:

     But in lieu of that, let me point you to an article about a CBS Reporter being ctiticised for accepting an award from a right-wing organization.
Here's the story.
     I agree with the critique...awards from truly non-partisian groups like The Associated Press or The Society of Professional Journalists are one thing, but when there is an agenda...and I even extend that to groups like Trial Lawyers Associations and Medical Associations..avoid accepting them.
    They're lobbying groups, after all, and journlaists shouldn't be in bed with them.

[The Monday (and sometimes Wednesday) Morning (and sometimes evening) Media Memo is a regular feature of this website!]
