I learned at 14 never to eat chili fries and expect that someone would be overly eager to kiss you. Many times, a lesson is going to be obvious. For example, it is never a good idea to accept a dinner invitation from someone you meet a gas station right after you notice he is filling up a hearse with a pentagram bumper sticker on the tailgate. It seems an obvious conclusion that a devout Catholic should probably not date someone that may or may not worship the prince of darkness.
In my opinion however, you should never be quick to believe anything that boasts that they can take the guesswork out of dating. Bill Kelley said after God created the world, he made man and woman. Then to keep the whole thing from collapsing, he invented humor. Even a serial dater that puts their love life- or lack thereof- on display for the entertainment of others will never forget that…or that the ultimate happiness in life is the pursuit of love. Henry Luce said that he became a journalist to come as close as possible to the heart of the world.

Friday, November 12, That also introduces our first difference. Columnists, by the very nature and purpose of columns, always possess a by-line. Articles can be written by a single reporter in which case that reporter gets a by-line.
It all depends on the policy of the media company. Traditionally, editors want reporters to inform the audience. On the other hand, they want columnists to incite the audience. You see this reflected in the writing perspective.
Reporters write using the third person point of view, while columnists frequently but not always employ the first person. Just as the reporter fills you with objective points as a scientist would, the columnist uses strong persuasive language to tilt you towards his intended bias like a lobbyist would. The best reporters, therefore, have the same traits as someone who has majored in the hard sciences.
The best columnists, though, are well versed in the language arts. This includes both the philosophical underpinnings of rhetoric and the cultural background of classic literature. Not only do they know how to forge phrases to evoke a response, they blanket their hard logic with the soft fluffiness of the common threads of our culture.
In my case, my FiduciaryNews. Each week I research and interview experts on various subjects. Then, two days later, for a different publication, I write a column about the subject with a link back to the FiduciaryNews.
I try my best to keep a fine line between objective reporting and provocative persuasion. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. Report copyright infringement.

Featured answer. Journalists report the news. They gather information about an event, then write a clear, honest summary of what happened.
Columnists write "columns" an article in a newspaper or magazine that is published every week or every month. Sometimes they write about news and events, and other times they write about funny things or interesting things.
People read a column because they think the columnist is entertaining.
