Teaching at Allegheny and covering stories at Allegheny is a fine line of sorts being a journalist. I have to be very aware that my dedication is to the story and not to the institution. I find it a little easier than you might think because that is also my attitude with the newspaper. My dedication as a journalist is first and foremost to the story. I can't worry about advertising revenues or whether or not this group or that group might find something offensive or they wish it wouldn't be in the newspaper(we have people at the paper whose job it is to worry about that stu. My dedication is to the story I'm telling--whatever that is. I'm not one that should be placing my thoughts or biases or concerns into the work--I need to report. So in covering a rally Wed. I was trying to keep in mind that even though I know some of the people in the rally, some are my colleagues and some are even my boss that I can't be part of glorifying or being an agent of propaganda to make the school look better--I need to simply report on what I see and experience. What is the story? That is always the first and last question we need to address as journalists. Even when the story is less provocative like a senior project involving a solar panel--what is the story--and how can I make a picture. Meadville Tribune photographs by Richard Sayer.
