Last Days

What was "e;Traditional Journalism"e;?It was the days when print journalism dominated the news cycle, when readers became "e;glued"e; to their morning or afternoon newspaper. God was moving... and so were "e;Traditional Journalists."e;* Who wouldn't want to witness... the wheels of government and justice moving, whether in County Commission, Board of Education, or Federal Court proceedings lasting weeks-and you had a ringside seat?* Who wouldn't want to rush... to the scene of a nighttime grocery store robbery only to find, along with police swarming into the back portion of that store, the butcher strapped to a chair, trying not to move from where-and how-his assailants left him?* Who wouldn't want to sit... in the inner sanctum of an Alabama governor as he fought legislatively in the "e;city of compromise,"e; passing bills worth watching on the Senate/House doors... or the night before the real passage, in the backroom of a chicken shack "e;off campus"e;?* Who wouldn't want to "e;just hold on!"e;... standing between the front seats of driver and passenger in an ambulance on Halloween night-racing to thescene of some bizarre "e;full moon"e; births, robberies, res, or even murders born of domestic troubles?
