Bostwiki takes on the question, “Are journalists
artists?”
The question is provocative because journalists are
maligned as not having “skin in the game” (when combat reporters definitely do,
and at one time the Army had a journalism corps).
Bostwiki (now 27) says, not really. Journalists are
technicians. Look, for example, at the
work of Ford Fischer on News2Share, where he films what people really do, without
passing judgment on anyone.
But journalists can be artists as a separate
occupation or mission.
