16. I didn't say that there was anything about LBN in either the article or your comment.

I consider great reporting to be news articles that are well written pieces within a short period of time (who, what, where, when, why, and how for LBN) after the event has occurred or that provides additional insights that weren't discussed when the story was breaking news.

In the case of the OP that you posted, neither of those criteria are being met. The author of the piece is only providing her opinion on something that has been discussed to death. That's not great reporting--the excerpt that you posted shows that at best it is an editorial. I don't claim to be a great reporter because I copy and paste articles on DU or because I was a layout editor and caption writer on my college newspaper. There is a significant difference between "great" and being prolific.
