editorial
rsmiller510 writes "There's a responsibility that comes with being a journalist, citizen or otherwise, to make every effort to make sure (or at least try to find out) if what you're publishing is true. Picking up the phone could certainly help. I know that doesn't always happen with so-called pros these days, and mistakes certainly happen in filtered and edited publications, but when the end result is a stock price plunge in what was already a bad week on Wall St, you can begin to see how the role and the responsibility suddenly become inextricably intertwined."

Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing. -- Dick Brandon
