Comments on: Is there still a place for old-style newspaper reporting?

But, as I watch the growth of purely-partisan sites on the web — as well as the dominance of partisan, personality-driven news networks on TV — I wonder if there is even a place in journalism today for non-partisan, objective reporting.

Partisan “reporting” isn’t journalism.

I agree with Stephen…the lack of bias is a refreshing change from 99.9% of the other political sites.

Also, I’ve always felt that CHB has a “voice”. Reading the columns, and most especially with Doug’s column, it feels like someone there is motioning me over, and after I mosey on over, they speak in an informal, friendly, and comfortable way about the latest breaking story.

I think it’s more important than ever to have old-time, newspaper reporting, because I think many are becoming nauseated with the alternative. Also, many times I crave news analysis done by a reporter who’s experienced with the subject and who’s put in the years (the time) to give me that common-sense, seasoned view.

So, Doug, please hang in there! You and your volunteer staff are needed in this well-worn world more than you think.

Stay. You are providing a badly needed counterpoint to the screaming and whining that pollutes much of the rest of the news. We need to continue to have an unbiased voice that looks at facts and doesn’t hypothesize based on unsupported rumor.

After the first hour of GMA, then some science shows, I read CHB with my morning coffee and several times through out the day.

WHY? Because it is as unbiased as I can find. I like news for information, I make up my own mind.
