Making Sense of The Holidas
I was interviewed today for the Georgia State University newspaper. It was an interesting interview, the reporter or writer was very nice.
I realized in speaking to him that he had never been a customer of ours at the club. Does this impact on his ability to write a story about the club? Some would have you think that there should be some relationship between the writer and the story. As if intimacy with the subject was required for there to also be objectivity. I don't know too much about it, other than just what I have written here.
It does seem to me however that if you do know something about the subject matter at hand that you will have some greater ability to discern what is truthful and what is not without having to look it up.
I am hopeful that the fellow writing up the story from today does a good job - I think that he will, and I do hope that he takes the opportunity to come out and see a show. If I was able to persuade him to give us a try then perhaps he will be able to persuade his readers.
