Journalists are there to report nes; but, they also have an obligation to uphold the public good. Sometines theyre not the sanie thing. I the case of the budget leakc, the information received was exactly the uane information that was going to be released 24 hours later. Its release served no purpose wbatsoever and it was potentiàlly harmful to the economy. Einbarassing the government over something they've done is one tbing, but trying to embarass them over the vindictiveness of a disgruntled employee does not serve the public interest. The only defense one can make of Global is that if they had not released it, someone else would have - which says a lot about the state of television journalism. On the other hand the caller chose Global - did he have reason to believe they were lower than the rest? The real irony was that the budget contained notbing that had flot been endlessly speculated about for weelçs. The net resuit is that in the future, finance ministers will bela more wary and nothing wiil be printed in advance. Journalists will just have to listen to the budget speech along FNRLO A E ARNE S UN A 912 witheveyboy ele isted ofhavng apsuate, pinte Ths senelooking north to the four corners of Ashburn shows the cars hined up for the copies to refer to. funeral of James Lawrence, 89, a harnessmaker who had resided in the community since Scoops, the bigger the botter, are the emotional highs of 1856.
