The most controversial topics to cover in journalism aren’t what you might first think. Foreign affairs? Religion? Trump, Biden, Clinton?
Nope. Not by a long shot. Sure, people are deeply passionate about these topics. But I’ve learned from my years of newspaper writing that the topics that are most likely to result in your inbox being flooded are voicing an opinion on parking and pets.
That’s because these issues affect people directly in their daily lives, sometimes on an hourly basis. There’s no escaping them.
My heart places me in the “No such thing as a bad dog school” but Pitbulls unfortunately have to be excluded.
