Feb. 27

I think that the marketplace and the needs of the public do have a conflict between the two. One is what we think the market place expects us to tell the public and then you have the public wanting to know more than what the media is telling us as the public.

The thing that people have to understand is though as the public you want to know the truth about what is going on around you, you are also not the only one that may read the paper or watch the news. As the media they have to make sure they are appeling to a large audience. Not everyone wants to hear the truth.

I also think that it is a hard and fine line between the two. It is hard to understand being a person in the public to know what the media market has to conform to, and as the media having been a part of the public at some time has to find the fine line of getting out the news and media but not crossing the line of what is allowed.

I think that this is going to be something that we are constantly going to be disscussing expecially since times have changed and there is a lot more going on in the world. But who gets to decide what the public needs to know.
