SHOLEH PATRICK: Her column will be missed

I was saddened to learn that The Press will no longer carry columns by Sholeh Patrick. In 1995 Carl Sagen wrote a book entitled “The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.” A corollary for today might be “A World of Misinformation and Disinformation: Objective Journalism is a Candle in the Dark.” In an era when most media seem more interested in entertainment than information and in controversy than facts, unbiased journalism is essential.   

Sholeh has given us years of responsible and objective journalism, covering wide-ranging topics from national to local, and occasionally personal. Her columns have been well-researched, factual and informative. Fortunately, her past columns are still available on the CDA Press website and continue to be relevant today.
