Michael Rosenberg’s 9 ‘Rules’ of Journalism

Posted on June 5, 2007 by Danny Sanchez

The Detroit Free Press‘s Michael Rosenberg writes searingly and hilariously about his nine simple rules of journalism. Among his “rules:”

“Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted; then, after the afflicted become comfortable, afflict them again. This should provide an endless supply of news stories.”

Check it out for a good laugh.
