American Journalism Review
Robert Lichter of the Center for Media and Public Affairs believes that some of the public's antipathy toward the press has been fueled by the rise of the celebrity journalist. "I think there's a feeling that journalists have overstepped their boundaries," he says. "People don't look on [journalists] the way journalists like to view themselves -- as the public's tribune, speaking truth to power, standing up for the little guy. They don't look like the little guy anymore."
