Unresponsive lawyers are ignored, until there is trouble at their firm, which is then reported with gusto. Let me sketch out what it is like to be a reporter. Most reporters are in their 20s and 30s. They are usually attracted to the job by the glamour surrounding journalism, the excitement of being the first to know the news before everyone else, and the variety of the work. They are trained on the job to learn fast, because they are constantly thrown into unfamiliar situations that they must understand quickly and write about later.
Reporters pride themselves on being tough enough to get to the truth of a matter.
They don't ever want to appear weak or look like someone's patsy. They are very competitive and take great satisfaction in being the first to break a story. They secretly dream about winning a major journalism prize. Meanwhile, they write bread and butter stories and feature articles, and cover regular beats. This is where you come in.
