The public affairs journalism we need is lively, direct, honest, powerful, and transparently important. The public affairs journalism we get is dull, bureaucratic, insider-focused, and occasionally incomprehensible. Public demand for clear and aggressive government reporting is lukewarm at best, until we face a crisis on the scale of Sept. 11 or Hurricane Katrina. But the everyday accounting of what government is, says, and does remains American journalists' biggest job. From the president down to the drain commissioner, our system of representative government is the defining quality of our national character. Our leaders embody the people's will, and even though citizens too readily cede control of our institutions to moneyed interests and cynical power brokers, we remain the ultimate authority over our affairs.
