Putting some woman who has delusions of grandeur because her elementary school music teacher told her she had a good voice on the TV because she won a Facebook contest is not journalism.  Letting her belt out a few bars of the latest ballad from pubescent romance fantasies is the opposite of journalism.

Here’s a rule of thumb:  If it gives you a warm and fuzzy, it’s probably not news.  If it can be classified as a “human interest story”, save your breath, I’m not interested.
