What I learned in J-school

Michael Gartenberg is right: If you want to play journalist, you have to get the story right. Being first doesn’t earn you a trophy if you blow the story. In fact, if you’re first and wrong, you can damage innocent lives.

Just ask this guy.

And if your conscience doesn’t bother you, maybe the prospect of having to pay cold hard cash will.
