Mikhaela Reid
Also via feministing, I found this wonderful cartoonist, Mikhaela Reid. My favorite is the one on Becoming a hard-hitting journalist.
I couldn't resist, though…I had to improve it a little bit.
It needed a little Wilgoren, ace reporter for the New York Times.

Oh, and I can't say who the guy is, because it's really important that I protect my sources and stuff, or otherwise they won't tell me anything, and y'know, it's not like I have any expertise in this myself. But he really knows what he's talking about. Trust me, it's a source very close to people you should listen to.
I'm fighting for the First Amendment, dammit! Please call me for your cable pundit show!#: Posted by Dr. Free-Ride on 10/17 at 03:14 PM -
I thought Wilgoren was "not really into it"....too hurried and tired to have an opinion on anything...

As the quality of our media continues to decrease, do you think the media types ever sit down and wonder why they're losing subscribers and popularity?

I've been a fan of Mikhaela's work for a while.
I was introduced to it via August Pollack, who is also a cartoonist. Pollack, unlike Mikhaela, often features the ghost of Adoph Hitler. (And who wouldn't want that as a snuggly feature of their stuffed animal collection?)

I feel so grateful that I don't know who that woman is. Is that a bad thing?

Jodi Wilgoren is a great reporter; head of the NYTimes Chicago Bureau last time I checked.

And also the writer of the greatest Creationist fluff piece seen in ages.#: Posted by on 10/18 at 08:19 AM -

This is a non-sequitur. The first statement is an unsupported statement of opinion. The second, apparently intended to bolster it, (a) is irrelevant, (b) assumes that administrative success in an organization requires skill in the core competencies of the organization (demonstrably false in most organizations), and (c) presumes that there's not something entirely rotten in the NYT hierarchy (demonstrably false, given the defense of Judy Miller by said hierarchy).#: Posted by paperwight on 10/18 at 08:30 AM
