Abstract
The tendency of the media to carry the watchdog role to the extreme impedes its ability to function effectively as a common carrier. Civil servants, hostile because of the perception that the press misrepresents reality, are very guarded in their relationship with the press. They tend not to share information the public deserves to know because it becomes "raw meat for the journalist."
