Shattered Glass Page #3
I'm sorry.
They don't want to hear
the whole "journalistic
responsibility" speech... do you?
You just want to know how to get
your name in print, right?
That sounds familiar.
Okay.
Let me take you through the life
of your typical piece
so you can see
what some of the hurdles are.
We'll use one I wrote last year,
about a bunch of Young Republicans
at a Conservatives' convention.
Now, journalism is about
pursuing the truth.
And I would never encourage you
to do anything sneaky or dishonest
in pursuit of a story,
such as assuming a phony identity.
I don't know, man. It seemed like
No, man.
Conservatism is dead.
- Dead?
- We're lost.
Damn straight.
On a story like that,
your notes are crucial.
You have to record
everything you see and hear.
Every quote, every detail...
all the way down
to the mini-bottles in the fridge.
We're like this guy
who has to pee,
lost in the desert,
looking for a tree.
That's true.
Completely true.
You guys know what
you're shopping for, right?
Yeah, totally.
Get us a real "heifer."
The fatter the better.
Bad acne would be a bonus.
Let's do it!
- Hey, Steve.
- Hey, Chuck.
What are you working on?
A piece Gabriel García Marquez
wrote about the Falklands War.
How about you?
Young Republicans
at a CPAC Conference.
Pretty standard stuff.
Hotel ballrooms, boring speeches.
Chicken dinners.
Which is why everybody spends
their time in the suites upstairs
committing felonies.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. I went to one.
The ballroom was empty.
