Today's word on journalism

Monday, November 5, 2007

On Objectivity:

"I still insist that 'objective journalism' is a contradiction in terms. But I want to draw a very hard line between the inevitable reality of 'subjective journalism' and the idea that any honestly subjective journalist might feel free to estimate a crowd at a rally for some candidates the journalist happens to like personally at 2,000 instead of 612 -- or to imply that a candidate the journalist views with gross contempt, personally, is a less effective campaigner than he actually is."

-- Hunter S. Thompson, from Fear & Loathing: CORRECTIONS, RETRACTIONS, APOLOGIES, COP-OUTS, ETC., a 1972 memo to Rolling Stone editor Jann S. Wenner, excerpted in the current (November 2007) issue of Harper’s Magazine (Thanks to alert WORDster Andy Merton)

Catch Wellsville's corn maze if you like to experience deja vu

By Lukas Brinkerhoff

October 26, 2007 | WELLSVILLE -- "I think we've already been here," Abby Yerka said at least a dozen times Wednesday night while trying to escape from the American West Heritage Center's corn maze.

"After wondering around for what at times seems like forever, there is quite the feeling of accomplishment as you finally get out of the maze," said Yerka. She also said it was frustrating to pass the same place a million times and also to see others coming the opposite direction, only to pass them again a few minutes later.

The corn maze is located on Highway 89 en route to Wellsville from Logan. It is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. until Oct. 30. In addition to the maze, the Heritage Center has hot chocolate and other goodies available as well as hay rides starting at 6 p.m.

If you plan to go, make sure you are prepared with a jacket and a flashlight. There are lights in the maze but only in certain places, and it can get dark. It is also recommended to take a map from the cash desk. The Heritage Center charges $7 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and children.

Yerka said,"It was fun, I'd go again."
