journalistic integrity

Can't sleep tonight due to a bad cough and felt a strong urge (after watching a great Bill Moyers show from Friday) to highlight my favorites in journalism today.  While newspapers are dying a slow death, strong, independent journalism is as strong as ever and will likely grow even stronger in the future due to the public appetite for independence and information, facts and figures that can easily be verified and cross-referenced with an endless supply of data via the Internet.  The following are my favorite journalists in the field today and it's no surprise that they share so much in common:  a strong voice of reason, a healthy dose of skepticism, respect and admiration from their peers, passionate about change and optimistic and hopeful for our country's future.   We need more like them.

1. Charlie Rose
2. Bill Moyers
