This evening, panelists at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism discussed "Covering Power." Panelists were Elisabeth Bumiller ’79, New York Times, Suzanne Malveaux ’91, CNN, and Mark Silva ’76, Chicago Tribune.
These working journalists exemplified that charm and good looks help a lot in addition to good writing and quick thinking. You don't get to cover the White House by being a bomb-thrower. They described it as professionalism and asking reportorial-style questions. It's the meta message that counts, not the particular kinds of things they say.
