Heat & Light

To go along with this blog I plan on reading on reading a very intriguing novel.  The title of this novel is Heat & Light: Advice for the Next Generation of Journalists by Mike Wallace and Beth Knobel.  This was one of Mike Wallace's last works for he died recently.  Most people know Mike Wallace as the anchor on CBS 60 minutes.  Beth Knobel is a former journalist now professor at Forham Univeristy in New York.  In just the short amount of the book that I have read, it has already talked about many points that I plan on bringing up in the future. 


A journalist is a grumbler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations.  Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
--Napoleon Bonaparte
