Haiku, about truth in journalism: Journalist In New York City

Journalist In New York City by Ronald Borst

newsroom noise rattles
my ears like a subway train
concentrate on truth




This poem was inspired by journalism in my life, teachers of journalism, and my birthplace- Brooklyn, New York City. The words are meant to put the reader into the mind of a journalist who is not struggling to maintain focus in a biased environment, but instead is struggling with the absence of integrity, that exists around him.

The words are not a reminder to be mindful of ethical responsibilities, they are a lesson.


Me, in Rob Priewe's(JN instructor, LBCC) office.
