Journalism as theater [is what] TV news is.

Journalism as theater is what TV news is.

The news is staged, anticipated, reported, analyzed until all interest is wrung from it and abandoned for some new novelty.

Journalism is in fact history on the run.

United Press International is a great news agency. It has made a remarkable mark in the annals of American journalism and has left a superb legacy for future journalists. I wish the new owners all the best, great stories and happy landings.

One of the problems with modern journalism is that it is not driven by news so much as it is by story elements.
