Exceptions

We always need to keep in mind the Law of Exceptions.  This is the law that states that news, to be news, must be an exception to the rule, extraordinary as opposed to ordinary.  What it also means is that the news is always displaying a false picture of the world.  We see tragic exceptions in far greater number through the lens of journalism.  So don't lose hope. Yes, there is evil in the world, but also there is great good, often very ordinary good. Remember the good.
