History of Journalism
“1Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 3it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.”
Luke 1:1-4 (ESV)
“1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[
a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.”
Luke 1:1-4 (NIV)
How Mr. G would amend the preface
Somewhere, not too far from here, at this very moment, a church is feeding the homeless. A factory is making the best orange juice in the world while offering great jobs to thousands of area residents. A pharmaceutical saleswoman is introducing a new arthritis drug that will enable thousands of Sarasotans to lead better lives. A high school senior is completing his eight-mile run in the heat as he prepares for cross-country season.
Just a typical day in America, in other words.

Professional journalists: part deux
Early 20th century: muckrakers
History of journalism: 20th century
Term comes from Pilgrim’s Progress: "the Man with the Muck-rake" who rejected salvation to focus on filth
Began in early 1900 in magazines such as Collier’s, Munsey’s and McClure’s when reform-minded journalists investigated official corruption and social problems
Associated with progressive movement, “social justice”
Today, the term describes either a journalist who writes in the adversarial or alternative tradition or a non-journalist whose purpose in publication is to advocate for reform and change
