Robert Rivard on ‘thin-skinned’ reporters who write for their peers
That observation comes from former San Antonio Express-News editor Robert Rivard, who adds that “the same newsrooms that produce such bulldog reporters are also stocked with journalists who are incredibly thin-skinned when their own work or motives are challenged.”
Rivard, who edited Hearst’s San Antonio paper for 14 years, says that “long before I left the Express-News there were those in the building who thought I was too close to some of this city’s leaders. People can think what they want to think. I’ve been around long enough to know the good guys from the bad.”
