The first paying job I ever had in journalism was standing on a street corner for two hours counting the number of commuters in cars for the Honolulu Advertiser. They were doing a story on traffic congestion. This was totally boring, so I just averaged the number of people I saw during the first ten minutes and fudged the rest of the research. That's how newspapers really work! |
