Who is your favorite current "journalist?"

Post by moda0306 »

I am trying to get more diverse opinions, but simultaneously keep the "noise" out of the room.  I'd love to hear who some of your favorite journalists, political writers, etc are.

Mine has to be Glenn Greenwald right now, but that's probably due to a lack of exposure to even better journalists.

A journalist is a person who collects, writes, or distributes news or other current information.  A journalist can work with general issues or specialize in certain issues, however, most journalists tend to specialize, and by cooperating with other journalists produce journals that span many topics.

So, working with that defintion of "journalist", my definitive answer for "who is my favorite current journalist?" is ...... drum roll ...... drum roll......  My wife.

This probably isn't the kind of journalist you meant, but one David Daleidin has just become the greatest investigative journalist of our time.

Joe Nocera is up there for me, I guess. Not the rhetoric I just learned about 5 minutes ago, but the business reporting.

Evan Thomas.

All the people behind 'Frontline' and 'Vice.'
All the Colombian, Russian, etc journalists who got murdered for doing their job.
