Christians Can Penetrate the Secular Mass Media
Newspaper reporting is, in many ways, not like other kinds of work at all. It is a fast-paced, exciting life, full of variety and surprises. It has more hurry, more sudden changes of pace, less regularity of hours, and more tension than most lines of work. But it probably offers more sheer fun than most lines of work, too.
