A Refreshingly Ethical Journalist

This weekend I was saddened but also inspired to read about the life of a very influential journalist and editor in Oakland, Chauncey Bailey. The chronicle dedicated a two page spread to the life of Bailey, a journalist who was assasinated recently in relation to his active role in supporting the black community of the bay area. The SF Chronicle explains that Bailey became a journalist to overcome racism by getting his opinions and messages across in print, so that the public would have little choice but to read what he had to say. Bailey's life and drive to becoming a journalist is a great inspiration to those of us who have a passion for shedding light on information that would otherwise be left in the dark. (The murder is still under investigation)
