From Wikipedia: "Mitchell David "Mitch" Albom (born May 23, 1958) is an American best-selling author, journalist, screenwriter, dramatist, radio, television broadcaster and musician. His books have sold over 35 million copies worldwide. Having achieved national recognition for sports writing in the earlier part of his career, he is perhaps best known for the inspirational stories and themes that weave through his books, plays and films."
Mitch Albom has not only made significant contribution to one field of journalism, but all of them. He's done almost every kind of journalism formats there is including newspaper, television, and radio. You name it and he's probably has done it.
“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
― Mitch Albom, For One More Day
This is one of my favorite quotes by Albom because it portrays journalism so well. Theres a story behind everything. Even when someones storys ends, there always a story behind it. The question is how hard and how long the journalist looks for the story.
