Yellow Journalism Other Than Fox News
From Jim Capozzola's TRR: The Lighter Side of Rittenhouse comes news of the Worst Job in Journalism:
"Confronted with a noxious puddle or pile, who ya gonna call?
The Daily News Stinkmeister, voice of the pee-and-poop-plagued public.
Phone Stinkmeister's hot line: 215-854-2600.
Or e-mail Stinkmeister: stink@phillynews.com
Stinkmeister will investigate as many calls and e-mails as possible and will mention the worst offenders in future reports."
Not only must the reporter investigate the odoriferous locations, he or she must rank them as well. I can think of many journos who are particularly well-suited for this job.
Update (7/8): Maybe Poynter should have a seminar on the risk that a bodily fluids reporter will manufacture the news.
