Courting Controversy

As a journalist interested in the successes of the industry, I really do try to work my head around concepts and modes of expression that I don't necessarily agree with. Though I automatically find myself shying from tabloid, sport, and celebrity journalism - areas that carry no interest for me - I understand that they are not only markets, but profitable markets. I may be a proud supporter of fourth estate, but I am not quite idealistic enough to think that news does not come at a price, nor am I arrogant enough to consider my tastes the only tastes.
