+History of the newspaper

+Seeing the corruption involved in this story – makes me wonder how many more stories are being held back.

+Lead up and all people involved.

+Makes me appreciate journalists and want to read more news stories.

I got to see the inner workings of reporting.

+It is a very readable style of writing.

Thoughts

A. The need to always cover the entity/institution/corporation at all costs.

B. So many cases are open and shut but corruption makes them needlessly complicated.

C. How does capitalism/everything is a business conflict with justice especially at a newspaper?

D. Read this alongside Forgive Me Not and they both made me think about the drug pipeline with teens

E. While reading this I wondered – Will lovers of true crime dock points because this book is about the road to publishing the story just as much as it is the crime?
