Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History Highlight

posted on in: Quote.

This is especially true if you have not only knowledge but access. I’ve been thinking a lot about access lately. Access is seductive. Access means good nuggets from a campaign. Access means your calls answered. Access is safe and secure, because you’re the one at your organization who can always get a comment, a confirmation, or an exclusive interview. But access journalism is barely journalism. And somewhere along the way, out here on the trail, wherever it is I am right now, I decided that access journalism isn’t worth it.
