If This Day Means Anything, It Means That You Are Now In The Contingent Of The Responsible. You Must Be Kind, Yes, But You Must Also Look Beyond Your Own House. We're Depending On You For Your Efforts And Your Vision. We Are Depending On Your Eye And Your Imagination To Identify What Wrongs Exist And Persist, And On Your Hands, Your Backs, Your Efforts, To Right Them.

I Got In Journalism For Any Number Of Reasons, Not Least Because It's So Much Fun. Journalism Should Be In The Business Of Putting Pressure On Power, Finding Out The Truth, Of Shining A Light On Injustice, Of, When Appropriate, Being Amusing And Entertaining - It's A Complicated And Varied Beast, Journalism.
