What is journalism?

By dancusack

I found this interview with PTI personality Michael Wilbon on the Northwestern site for their student newspaper. For those of you not familiar, Wilbon is a writer for the Washington Post and a frequent contributor to ESPN programing. He and Tony Kornhieser have a show on ESPN called PTI.

I thought it was really interesting his take on journalism. In the interview, he talks about his writing career and what makes working for ESPN different. He said that his work on PTI is not journalism and that is a personality show, but that most people do not understand this.
