Off the Record

how to empty out a newsroom

If your local newspaper had the same policies as the Polish Press Agency, would there be any reporters left on the staff?

An appeal from our founder, Dr. Jeffrey Mirus:

    Ah, Quebec City. I spent part of my honeymoon there last year. There were never more than 8-9 people at daily Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral. Very sad.

    >> would there be any reporters left on the staff? "Reporters"? Here in Quebec City, if we had such policies for churches, there wouldn't be any Priests left! :-)

    It is possible for an American reporter to lose his or her job for misconduct in print. Ask Jason Blair and Janet Cooke. But in the narrow sense---of misreporting what a Catholic clergyman says---it ain't going to happen.
