George Seldes Leaves a Legacy of Courage

I hadn't heard much about George Seldes before, but after reading the legacy he left for journalists to follow, he really was a pioneer for the free flow of information. Perhaps one of his strongest stories has to be his reporting on the dangers of cigarette smoke and warning the people of the side effects. What I also learned about his work is that he wasn't afraid to be independent, especially when it came to reporting about the war and fascism. It's journalists like Seldes that show us to enforce courage, bravery and confidence, no matter what the topic is, how important it is to always seek and report the truth. http://www.jeffcohen.org/docs/mbeat19950712.html
