Who haven’t heard of Paul Harvey? I grew up listening and watching him on the evening local news at 6pm. He would closed out the news with the rest of the story. If you ever noticed in some of my blogs, I would make references to him. I was fascinated with him and his stories. He was a true journalist, who actually done his research to give you the facts, just the facts. I want to be that kind of blogger, like Paul Harvey before there was actually blogs back in his days.

As Paul Harvey would say, now the rest of the story.

Paul Harvey was born September 4, 1918 in Tulsa, Ok. He passed away February 28, 2009 in Phoenix, AZ. He was an American radio broadcaster for ABC News Radio. He broadcast news and comment on mornings and mid-days on weekdays and at noon on Saturday and also his famous “The Rest of the Story” segments. From 1951 to 2008, his programs reached as many as 24 million people per week.

Paul Harvey was best known as one of the most widely followed radio and television news commentators. He showed an interest in radio during childhood and in high school was a champion orator.

Paul Harvey News was carried on 1,200 radio stations, and on 400 American Forces Network stations, and in 300 newspapers. You can even catch his rest of the story on YouTube.

He attended Tulsa Central High School, where he 2 years ahead of future actor Tony Randall. Paul Harvey’s teacher, Isabelle Ronan was impressed by his voice.

By June1944, he began broadcasting from the ABC affiliate WENR.

The US attorney for Illinois empanel a grand jury to consider an espionage indictment; in which he went on the air to suggest he was being set up.

He had gone public in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. He debut on November 16, 1952, when he began a 15 minute newscast on ABC.

To this day, there is no one who can light a match to Paul Harvey’s true Journalist ability. He deserve a praise for being a pioneer in the field of Journalism. People like him and Walter Cronkite actually had integrity when it came to reporting the news. He gave you the facts and kept his Conservative views to himself. He had integrity and actually did his research before giving his reports to his listeners.

I strive to be more like Paul Harvey when it comes to writing my blog. I want to be able to give you the facts along with my opinions to help you make the right decision. If somehow some of the facts in my blog isn’t correct, I apologize for it. I pledge to make sure to do my research much like Paul Harvey did, and true journalists should do. I strive to give you: who, what, why, where, when, and how, as I learned in studying journalism in college.

Not many journalists today is willing to do that. Most of them are bias; and they are not supposed to be. They are more of glorified blogger rather than a journalist. I don’t care what news station you may listen or watch.

I may watched Fox news, but I also watch my local ABC news stations. I want to get the full story, the rest of the story. That way, I can make the right decision. As a good reporter or lawyer, we must get all the facts, not just what certain news stations want to give us. That is the job of a good journalist and/or blogger must do.

I don’t think that Paul Harvey would be too proud of the news media right now. He would probably say that they have lost their ways and became too bias.

Even though, I may be a Conservative blogger like Paul Harvey was a Conservative, I try to give you the facts, just the facts; so you can make a rational decision.

They don’t make them like Paul Harvey anymore. No one can light a match to him. I hope that I can at least comes close though. Let me know how I’m doing at the bottom by pressing like and maybe even make a comment. I want to hear from you.
