"The primary function of media is to inform about issues within a community. Editors and reporters must notice what's going on, look into it and put it out there for examination. Conclusions don't have to be drawn, concrete action does not have to be outlined, but the fact of the events should be noted for the benefit of the target audience. A media that consistently fails to notice issues or topics of potential import within the community or industry it is covering is a media that is either lazy, corrupt or stupefyingly ignorant." -- Pam Noles, "Shame", 2006-01-04
