The Mind of a Journalist

The Mind of a Journalsit: How Reporters view themselves. their world, and their craft by Jim Willis

ISBN: 978-1-4129-5457-0(pbk)

This book is very interesting to know about 'The Mind of a Journalist'.

Among the issues the journalists examine are the lure of journalism, the stance journalists take toward the world they are assigned to cover, the ethical challenges journalists face, how close to get to a story or how far to distance themselves from it, journalists and politics, and even journalists and religion.

...

Veteran journalists know their field better than anyone else because they live and breathe it and often treat it as more of a mission than a job.

status: Read from September 20 to December 28, 2010

Absolutely Brilliant!!! Pamuk is a genius. His writing skill is captivating, his characters are rich and complex and I really didn't want the story to end. I highly recommend this book, but do go for the English translation rather than the Arabic.

The White House says that President Obama plans on spending some of his Hawaiian vacation reading, and among the books on his list is one about President Reagan.

Obama will be digging into Lou Cannon's biography, "President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime."

The president has been reading up on books about other presidents in the past few months. Most recently before the midterm elections, he was reading "The Clinton TAPES" by Taylor Branch, among others.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a briefing Wednesday that reading will be part of Obama's vacation plans, "He'll read a good amount of stuff. He'll have, obviously, his daily intelligence briefing, as well as probably a novel or two."

The first family has spend their last few Christmases in Hawaii, renting out a property on Kailua beach. The president arrived late Wednesday night after delaying his trip due to legislative business on Capitol Hill. First lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia arrived last weekend.

The president is expected to be in Hawaii into the New Year.

He'll also be spending time with friends and family and as an avid golfer, will likely hit a golf course or two.
