confounding caveats”).
A professional journalist
considers their source and the
complete context. Reporting
an eavesdropped conversation
with other customers is ques-
tionable, but failing to report
that their conceived complaint
was answered to their satisfac-
tion is unprofessional.
A professional journal-

Disparaging menu items, the
lamb, the baklava, and the zel-
jancia (spinach pie) — that are
as good or better than what one
