Though we tend to attribute fair or unfair reporting to a particular order or a particular institution, it's worth considering that the reporter is also exposed to the dynamics of the investigative process. That process includes people who are able to present their ideas more clearly than others, people who are more skilled at attracting press attention, the openness of an institution, the openness of an individual.
Journalism is a very dynamic process.
And it behooves us all to speak respectfully to reporters and to editors about our concerns, rather than just building anxiety and resentment . . .
