Description
Summary:An Oklahoma City TV station reported in September that local emergency rooms were turning away gunshot victims because they were inundated by victims of ivermectin overdose. "There is a growing trend of journalists not going out and hitting the beat, only sitting in offices and calling people," Boudreaux added. The panelists were Nikki Usher, a journalism professor at the University of Illinois and author of the recently published book, "News for the Rich, White and Blue"; and Lynn Walsh, assistant director of Trusting News and a past SPJ president. In advanced reporting, I often invited guest speakers into the classroom to be interviewed, which was the journalistic equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel.
