Surely this is the big story in your local daily:
NEW YORK Once again, newspaper reporters score poorly in the annual Gallup Poll, released today, on ?honesty and ethical standards? in various professions, as judged by the American public. They rank even lower than bankers, auto mechanics, elected officials, and nursing-home operators.To put this in perspective: Newspaper reporters are even less respected than their TV counterparts.
Somehow, however, they top lawyers, car salesmen, and ad directors. And they also edge business executives and congressmen
The list:
At the top, 79% gave nurses high or very high marks. Other categories, in order: grade school teachers, pharmacists, military officers, doctors, police officers, clergy, judges, day-care providers, bankers, auto mechanics, local officeholders, nursing home operators, state officeholders, TV reporters, and then newspaper reporters.
A lot of fine reporters in the world should be outraged at their fellows who bring them low. Of course, this story says nothing about who's who and why the results are as they are.
By the way, you nurses, teachers, and pharmacists better watch you backs...
