But either way,I don't think she'd visit. Is there something like “journophile”, perhaps they should also establish a “critique” section. But either way,I don’t think she’d visit.

Certainly not all are infected with self-importance and self-love. But I suspect that of those who write themselves and what they think into news stories. And I would not expect such folks to be very open at all to criticism or comment about their work or their opinions. I think a lot of journalists these days are narcisists.

Any journalist who wants readers to hide their criticism needs to look for a line of work a little less public. How can anyone expect to improve without a lot of crit?

Yikes! Negative feedback is not good. But thanks for telling me your opinion.

Ouch! I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Eek! Positive feedback I like better. Thanks for mailing me anyway.

Then again, what else is there left to say.
