	So why? On the business page or sports page the reporters are
	much more conversant in their fields. Problem is that athletes
	and/or business promoters LIKE the media. Every time their name
	and face appears in the paper its usually good for them. For
	people who work with potential hazards, the reverse is true.
	We have to do something to turn this around

What do you think of this?

	BRAVO!
