When I showed this to Albert, he compared them to the hunter or the gatherer, both products of their environment, but taking different roles within it.
The journalist seeks to create, but lacks the internal fortitude to kill people for show himself, so he allows others to do his killing for him, and then shows it to the world as his own.
The artist owns what he creates, but is seldom willing to go to the same lengths the journalist will, knowing he has no scape goat.
"The journalist seeks to create, but lacks the internal fortitude to kill people for show himself, so he allows others to do his killing for him, and then shows it to the world as his own."
In your opinion, how would a good journalist's inner fortitude be characterized? That's an interesting expression to use in that context...
