Titling a blog...

...is tough work.

Being expected to create a permanent name in under five minutes is even tougher.  But hey, I'm a reporter.  We thrive on deadlines.

The title for this blog comes from a quote by G. K. Chesterton, an English mystery novelist: 

Journalism largely consists of saying 'Lord Jones is Dead' to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.  

I found that highly amusing - and worthy of a blog title.  

But as cheeky as it is (those Brits are nothing if not witty), it makes an important statement about journalism - we the media are the public's source of information.  We're responsible for telling them what they need to know.  People might not pay full attention to us, but we're all they've got. 

Nothing like feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders.

This blog is awesome! Did you design it? And your other blog is great looking, too, but I just decided to leave a comment here. I also love the title.
