On "Sez who?" Reporting

Ron Rosenblum, Essayist and Author of "Explaining Hitler", from notes taken by CCJ Founding Chairman Bill Kovach, February 1, 1997

“I’ve been inspired by the ‘follow the money’ journalism of the ‘60s and ‘70s which opened the world of post-war political corruption…”

“We're now in a period of knee jerk acceptance of conventional wisdom and pop theories.  Not enough of what my father would call, ‘Sez who?’ reporting.  I have found that if you question, if you look under and around and behind conventional wisdom you are likely to find a fraud…ideas are too important to be left to the intellectuals.”
